Intellian, the pioneer of mobile satellite communication antenna systems, has received Inmarsat Type Approval for the new GX100NX antenna, authorising its use on the Global Xpress satellite network and for the Inmarsat Fleet Xpress service.
Launched in May 2019, the GX100NX unlocks the full potential of Fleet Xpress, the world’s fastest-growing Maritime VSAT service, empowering maritime customers with maximised RF performance and 10W high-power BUC option to ensure high availability of Ka-band connectivity.
Intellian’s expanding NX series
GX100NX is a new addition to Intellian’s expanding NX series, a new generation of faster, lighter antennas
The GX100NX is a new addition to Intellian’s expanding NX series, a new generation of faster, lighter and stronger antennas delivering high performance on all major satellite networks.
The product features a single cable design, which along with new AptusNX software, enables fast installation and maintenance.
NX platform’s modular design
The focus on streamlining installation delivers cost efficiencies, without compromise on link performance. More savings come from the NX platform’s modular design, enabling spare part stocks to be reduced by up to 40%.
Further, the GX100NX Below Deck Unit integrates the Antenna Control Unit, GX modem and mediator function for dual antenna configuration in a single box, contributing further to reducing the time and costs of installation and commissioning.
