Sailor 900 VSAT with Ka-band upgrade path to Inmarsat GX

The SAILOR 900 VSAT system is the most advanced maritime stabilised Ku-band antenna system built with the same high quality and performance that has made SAILOR the leading name in professional maritime communication equipment over decades.

Every SAILOR 900 VSAT antenna system comes factory-tested, equipped ready to-go with standardised top quality RF components including an 8 Watt BUC and only requires one cable between antenna and below-deck making installation simpler. The antenna is shipped fully balanced, configured and does not need excessive configuration work prior to installation. This time and cost saving, plus the top RF performance makes the SAILOR 900 VSAT the most cost effective Ku-band antenna on the market to deploy.

The SAILOR 900 VSAT also has a Ka-band upgrade path to Inmarsat Global Xpress if needed making it future proof. It is also the only antenna, which can operate in a dual antenna configuration using a single modem without the need for an extra arbitrator system to manage RF switching. Dual antenna system are becoming increasingly popular on vessels that suffer with mast or superstructure blockage as they allow seamless operation. A simple cable links the two antenna below decks units together with the modem saving cost, rack space and unecessary complexity.

The decision to install VSAT on a ship stems from the desire to have always-on broadband connectivity at a simple flat rate fee and the SAILOR is built and ready to deliver this. Livewire Connections can also provide a range of VSAT airtime services from regional single beam coverage to full global coverage up to several MBps. You can be confident that the SAILOR 900 VSAT will deliver you a robust and reliable broadband connection.
