GX100PM – Marine Satellite Communication System
12
Intellian GX100PM Introduction
Intellian GX100PM (1.03m) is a 1m Global Xpress terminal specially designed for
use in military applications. The GX100PM offers robust Ka-band RF performance
optimized for use on Inmarsat's Global Xpress network.
The GX100PM is certied to military standards MIL-STD-167-1A and MIL-STD-
461F while meeting other highest industrial standards such as FCC, ETSI and
R&TTE. The antenna’s 3-axis stabilized platform and advanced shock-resistant
and vibration damping design of the Pedestal is fully optimized to withstand the
demanding maritime conditions and to ensure reliable broadband communications.
The unlimited azimuth range ensures continuous tracking without unwrapping the
cables in the antenna and the low elevation angle (-20°) supports seamless signal
reception at extremely high latitudes.
The GX100PM BDT combines the Global Xpress Modem internally with the below
deck terminal, saving time and space during installation. The BDT also includes
Wi-Fi to allow wireless connection using the dedicated Intellian Aptus software for
system control and monitoring.
The Aptus software automatically congures the antenna system, enabling true One
Touch Commissioning.
Equipped with Intellian’s next generation Antenna Control Software, ‘Aptus®’,
the GX100PM antenna can be remotely accessed, monitored and controlled
through serial connection or secured TCP/IP network. Its graphic-based user
interface provides easy-to-use operating environment. The GX100PM also has
an embedded webserver and secured web user interface called Aptus Web for
remote management of the antenna on a web browser. Network connection can be
easily setup through the front Management Ethernet Port on the BDT that supports
automatic IP conguration.

INTRODUCTION
Intellian GX100PM Features
Military Standards Compliance
The GX100PM is certied to military standards for MIL-STD-167-1A for shock and vibration
and MIL-ST-461F for EMI/EMC performance.
Frequency tuned radome
To ensure efcient operations for Ka-band Inmarsat Global Xpress™ systems, the signal loss
of the radome itself is minimized and the performance maximized with an optimized radome
design that enhances the Ka-band system performance.
Gyro-free satellite search capability
Intellian’s new generation gyro-free satellite search function enables the GX100PM to acquire
and lock onto the satellite without requiring a separate input from the ship’s gyrocompass.
GX Core Module Combined BDT
The below deck terminal combines the GX Core Module internally with the antenna controller,
saving time and space during installation. The BDT also includes a Wi-Fi connection to
allow wireless connectivity via the dedicated Intellian Aptus software for system control and
monitoring. The Aptus software also helps automatically congure the antenna system
during initial commissioning.
Graphical and user-friendly antenna control software
The GX100PM provides a newly developed, graphic-based antenna remote control program
with an additional Software Development Kit (SDK), allowing the NOC or service center to
integrate antenna monitoring and control into its existing network management systems in
an easier, user-friendly, and convenient manner.
One Touch Commissioning
The GX100PM is pre-congured to get network connection quickly without the need of post
installation conguration or NOC staff.
Intelligent rmware upgrade
Intellian GX100PM provides easy and intelligent rmware upgrade methods. Firmware
upgrades can be automatically initiated by plugging a rmware stored USB Memory Stick
to the USB Port on the BDT front or by launching ‘Firmware Upgrade’ on the Aptus®or
Aptus Web. Users can also manually select a rmware le on a local disk and complete the
upgrade. The rmware can be rolled back to a previous version as the BDT’s built-in memory
stores the current and previous rmware les.
