Intellian MM 10W Ka-Band BUC GX-1076
The Intellian GX-1076 is a Mission Microwave 10W Ka-band Block Upconverter for compatible Intellian maritime VSAT antenna systems. It converts the modem’s transmit signal to Ka-band and amplifies it before transmission through the antenna.
The BUC is used with selected GX60HP, GX100HP, GX60NX, GX100NX, v60Ka 2, v85NX Ka, and v100NX Ka systems. Its 10W output supports high-power Ka-band configurations used for Inmarsat Global Xpress and other compatible maritime satellite services.
Satellite Phone Store can help verify the antenna model, frequency configuration, modem, feed assembly, power requirements, and required installation hardware before ordering.
Description
The GX-1076 is installed within the transmit path of a maritime VSAT antenna. It receives the modem’s lower-frequency transmit signal, converts it to Ka-band, and increases its power before the signal is directed through the antenna feed toward the satellite.
The BUC is an RF component rather than a complete satellite terminal. Operation requires a suitable Intellian antenna, modem, antenna control equipment, onboard network, and active satellite service.
10W Transmit Power
The unit provides 10W of Ka-band transmit power. This makes it suitable for Intellian high-power antenna configurations that require greater uplink capability than standard 5W systems.
Available data performance depends on the complete antenna system, satellite beam, service plan, network conditions, installation quality, and regulatory limits. The 10W rating should not be interpreted as a guaranteed connection speed.
Intellian Maritime System Integration
Intellian uses the GX-1076 in selected high-power configurations of the GX60NX, GX100NX, v60Ka 2, v85NX Ka, and v100NX Ka platforms. It is also listed for earlier GX60HP and GX100HP systems.
The exact antenna version and RF configuration must be confirmed before replacement. Ka-band BUCs with similar output ratings may use different frequencies, interfaces, power arrangements, or mounting provisions and should not be treated as interchangeable.
Mission Microwave Construction
The GX-1076 is manufactured by Mission Microwave and supplied under an Intellian part number for use within supported Intellian systems.
It is designed for installation within the antenna’s protected RF assembly, close to the feed. This positioning limits transmit-side signal loss and allows the amplified Ka-band signal to travel only a short distance before reaching the antenna.
Professional Maritime Applications
The GX-1076 is intended for professionally installed maritime satellite systems aboard vessels such as:
- Commercial and cargo vessels
- Offshore and energy vessels
- Passenger vessels
- Government and patrol vessels
- Research vessels
- Superyachts and private yachts
Installation, replacement, and commissioning should be completed by technicians familiar with Intellian Ka-band antenna systems. Incorrect frequency selection, cabling, power, mounting, or modem configuration can prevent the system from transmitting correctly.
