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 the 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.

The frequency band for this system is Ka-Band (Inmarsat GX). The reflector size is 65 cm or 25.5 inches. It is compliant with CE (Maritime), ETSI, and FCC regulations and has a power supply range of 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. It is designed to withstand vibrations during operation and storage according to EN60945, DNV 2.4-A, and MIL-STD-167-1 standards, and can withstand shock and temperature ranging from -25°C to 55°C for operation and -40°C to 85°C for storage.

The antenna has a 3-axis stabilized tracking system with integrated GNSS, a reflector and sub-reflector system with ring focus, and a transmit gain of 43.4 dBi and a receive gain of 40.4 dBi.

It has a BUC output power of 5 W and an EIRP of 50.4 dB. The LNB is Inmarsat GX-approved and the tracking receiver is compatible with all band and modulation types. The polarization is circular and cross-pol, and the antenna has a 6-axis MEMS INU with conical scan and internal GNSS and gyro/GPS compass input. It has a range of elevation from -28° to +120° and a cross elevation of +/-42°, with an unlimited azimuth range.

It can withstand ship motion and turning rate and acceleration of 15°/S and 15°/S2. The system is able to acquire satellites automatically with or without gyro/GPS compass input and has a humidity tolerance of 100% condensing and a rain and wind rating of EN60945 and 80 kt operational and 110 kt survival, respectively. It can withstand ice of up to 25 mm and solar radiation of 1120 W/m2. It has a compass-safe distance of 1 m and has built-in power-on self-test, person-activated self-test, and continuous monitoring with error logging.

It will automatically enter safe mode when powered off. The dimensions of the antenna are a height of 91 cm and a diameter of 82 cm, with a weight of 37 kg.

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 cost barriers 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 delivers high bandwidth connectivity on the Fleet Xpress service. It is the fastest tracking antenna available in this size, with 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.
