Description
Global C-band Connectivity
The v240C is engineered for operators that require dependable broadband communications across global shipping lanes. Operating on C-band frequencies, it provides excellent resistance to heavy rain and adverse weather conditions while delivering the wide-area coverage required for commercial shipping, offshore energy, and long-distance maritime operations.
Its patented automatic polarization switching enables seamless operation with both linear and circular C-band satellites without requiring manual hardware changes.
Designed for Challenging Marine Environments
The v240C features a precision 3-axis stabilized pedestal with an ultra-wide elevation range from **-15° to +120°**, allowing reliable tracking even in extremely high and low latitude regions.
The carbon composite reflector reduces overall antenna weight while maintaining excellent RF performance, and integrated motor brakes help protect the antenna during transportation, storage, and sudden vessel movement.
Flexible Installation and High RF Performance
The system supports multiple BUC power options from **40W to 250W**, allowing operators to configure the antenna for their specific network requirements. The simplified radome design and pre-assembled antenna reduce installation time, while the optional internal air-conditioning system maintains optimal operating temperatures in demanding climates.
The v240C also supports automatic beam switching through OpenAMIP and ROAM protocols for compatible modem platforms.
