Description
High-Performance Ku-band Connectivity
The v240K is engineered for vessels that require dependable broadband communications over global Ku-band VSAT networks. Its advanced RF design delivers excellent performance across conventional wide-beam and High Throughput Satellite (HTS) services, making it suitable for high-bandwidth maritime applications including business operations, cloud services, video conferencing, and crew connectivity.
Built for Demanding Marine Environments
The antenna features a precision 3-axis stabilized pedestal with an ultra-wide elevation range, allowing reliable satellite tracking even in challenging operating areas such as equatorial waters and high-latitude regions.
Its carbon composite reflector reduces overall antenna weight while maintaining excellent RF performance, while integrated motor brakes help protect the antenna during transport, storage, and sudden vessel movement.
Flexible Installation and Operation
The v240K supports multiple BUC configurations ranging from 40W to 250W, allowing operators to configure the system for their specific bandwidth requirements.
Automatic switching between circular and linear polarization enables compatibility with a wide variety of Ku-band satellite services without manual hardware changes. The optional dome climate control system helps maintain optimal operating temperatures in demanding environments, while automatic satellite position calibration simplifies startup after installation.
