INTRODUCTION
Intellian v240M Features
Automatic Frequency Band Switching
The Intellian v240M antenna automatically changes between C-band and Ku-band
operation since it does not require any manual or physical changes to the antenna
system. When a target satellite or operational frequency is selected from the ACU
or the Aptus
®
program, the patented band changing assembly is automatically
adjusted.
RF Switch Enabled Modem Mediator
Intellian supplies a Modem Mediator as an option. This allows the user to install
either one single satellite modem for both C and Ku-band, or two separate modems
to support each frequency band.
When operating in a network that offers intelligent beam switching, a single modem
may be used. When the user requires the enhanced features of a more specialized
modem, then the Modem Mediator manages this, removing the need to swap
cables onboard.
DVB/DVB-S2 and NBD Detection Capability
Intellian v240M is capable of detecting DVB-S/DVB-S2 signal, SCPC, and Narrow-
Band signal through its integrated digital tuner and the narrow band detector (NBD).
Wireless Communication with the ACU
The v240M's ACU offers upgraded functions. The built-in wireless network card
enables the ACU to be wirelessly connected to the vessel's network, and can be
activated or deactivated by a switch on the rear of the ACU. Once enabled, the
antenna can be managed and controlled from any PC or Mobile Device via the
Aptus software.
Antenna Data Log and Firmware Upgrade through USB
The v240M ACU now automatically stores all function data onto a built-in 256MB
memory. All existing logs are stored in the 256MB for a one month of period, and
can be transferred onto a USB drives.
In addition, the ACU rmware can be automatically updated and upgraded by
plugging in a USB drive which contains the rmware update les.
Bluetooth Module Support
With the antenna is equipped with the Intellian supplied Bluetooth module on the
main control unit, users can access and control the antenna with a laptop that
has Bluetooth capability from within the radome. This functionality streamlines the
installation and maintenance process.
Maximized RF Performance
The main reector, Feed-horn and other RF parts are newly designed to maximize
the antenna performance for maritime applications. With the highest level of gain
and Maximum Allowed EIRP Density amongst the similar-sized VSAT antenna
systems, the Intellian v240M also conforms to various ESV (Earth-Station-on
Vessels) standards and FCC requirements.
