Description
Fastest tracking antenna available in the 60cm class, with superior dynamic performance in all axes; roll, pitch and yaw. This high performance means that even smaller vessels more affected by rough seas can make the most of maritime broadband on Fleet Xpress, as SAILOR 60 GX can maintain a strong link even in extreme conditions and on the edges of the beams.
Dedicated Development
The SAILOR 60 GX is a result of thousands of hours of research, development and rigorous testing that meets or exceeds the strict requirements set forth by Inmarsat. This ensures that with SAILOR 60 GX, the high speed maritime broadband provided by Global Xpress® is always available for business critical, operational and crew communication. With collaboration and IP applications becoming increasingly important to improving vessel and fleet efficiency, SAILOR 60 GX can be counted on to enable your ability to communicate and operate more efficiently.
Fast, Flexible Installation and Integration
The SAILOR 60 GX is simple to install, setup, operate and commission, even by a non-specialist technician. The use of Ethernet over Coax (EOC) allows for four times the length over traditional coax only systems, so installation flexibility is high. It is easily integrated with SAILOR FleetBroadband to create a redundant, highly reliable network with the quality and coverage needed to perform in today’s maritime environment. SAILOR 60 GX also uses the innovative Cobham IMA software platform, helping to make it ready to face the communications needs of the maritime market in the 21st century.
