Partnership agreement for new SAILOR 900 VSAT
Marlink will add the innovative new Ku-band antenna to its VSAT portfolio and offer it to its extensive global customer network.
SAILOR 900 VSAT is said to be a powerful, quick and easy-to-install four-axis stabilized Ku-band VSAT antenna, featuring a low-profile and high performance RF design. It can as per Thrane&Thrane easily be integrated with all leading VSAT modem units and the sophisticated Antenna Control Unit (ACU) features multiple LAN and diagnostics ports, and Built-in Test Equipment (BITE).
During the intensive development and testing of SAILOR 900 VSAT, Thrane & Thrane’s in-house engineers were supported by Marlink’s experience as a key global maritime communication organisation.
To ensure reliability of the SAILOR 900 VSAT aboard any vessel type, Thrane & Thrane built a unique antenna testing and simulation facility at its HQ. The facility features a multi-axis hydraulic motion testing and simulation platform that uses real-life vessel motion and conditions, to test the SAILOR 900 VSAT whilst it is connected to a live satellite. This extra testing is said to ensure that the SAILOR 900 VSAT is ready for installation aboard vessels of all sizes and types.
