Cobham SAILOR 60 GX

Product Description

SAILOR 60 GX is the smallest, lightest, and most advanced antenna for the new Inmarsat Fleet Xpress maritime broadband service. Its unique composite/aluminum design keeps weight down while the well-proven SAILOR VSAT technology streamlines the deployment process and maximizes operational uptime.

Though SAILOR 60 GX is a super light antenna, it has the ruggedness and reliability required of a professional maritime stabilized antenna system. Additionally, the low weight and compact form factor make it possible for smaller vessels to benefit from VSAT connectivity, when before it may not have been an option due to space available or difficulties and costs associated with the installation of larger, heavier antennas.

A simple revolution in VSAT deployment SAILOR 60 GX is delivered ready to install, with the included SAILOR GX Modem Unit (GMU) and SAILOR Antenna Control Unit (ACU) ensuring quality and reliability throughout the system. Installation is easy, thanks to a wealth of features and design details unique to the SAILOR VSAT technology platform. For instance, it features a single cable between antenna and below deck equipment for RF, power, and data, while Automatic Azimuth Calibration and Automatic Cable Calibration enable unique ‘one-touch commissioning’. It also features Dynamic Motor Brakes inside the
antenna, removing the requirement for mechanical brake straps whilst ensuring the antenna is kept in balance in no-power situations, at sea, or during transport.

Cobham SAILOR 60 GX MANUAL

Cobham SAILOR 60 GX Satellite Antenna is the most compact and advanced Ka-band VSAT system on the market. Designed to utilize Fleet Xpress airtime service on Inmarsat’s Global Xpress® (GX) broadband maritime network.

Though the Cobham SAILOR 60 GX is a super light antenna, it has the ruggedness and reliability required of a professional maritime stabilized antenna system. The low weight and compact form factor make it possible for smaller vessels to benefit from VSAT connectivity; previously limited by space or costs barrier associated with installing larger antennas primarily enjoyed by large high-seas vessels.

SAILOR 60 GX is built to withstand the toughest sea conditions and still deliver high bandwidth connectivity on the Fleet Xpress service. It is the fastest tracking antenna available in this size, with a superior dynamic performance in all axes; roll, pitch and yaw. This high performance enables vessels more affected by rough seas to make the most of Global Xpress.
