Intellian GX60 Introduction
Intellian GX60 is a 65 centimeter Ka-band maritime stabilized antenna, a ready-to-
use system for the super-fast, Global Xpress™ (GX) Ka-band broadband service
from Inmarsat. The GX60 offers robust Ka-band RF performance optimized for
Inmarsat GX service with all new GX ACU.
The GX60 ACU combines the Global Xpress Modem internally with the antenna
control unit, saving time and space during installation. The ACU 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 Aptus®, the GX60 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 GX60 also has an embedded web server 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
ACU that supports automatic IP conguration.
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 GX60 is built to meet or exceed the industry's most stringent standards such as
FCC, ETSI, R&TTE. With its frequency tuned radome and newly designed reector,
the GX60 offers the maximized performance on a Ka-band Inmarsat Global Xpress
system.

INTRODUCTION
Intellian GX60 Features
Ka-band optimized reector
The GX60 carbon ber reector is designed and engineered to operate on the Ka-band
while maximizing the RF performance. The reector of the GX60 is designed to be extremely
precise and very stable in all operating conditions.
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.
Combined ACU-Global Xpress™ Core Module
The all new GX ACU combines the Core Module internally with the antenna control unit,
saving time and space during installation. The ACU 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.
Gyro-free satellite search capability
Intellian’s new generation gyro-free satellite search function enables the GX60 to acquire and
lock onto the satellite without requiring a separate input from the ship’s gyrocompass.
Graphical and user-friendly antenna control software: Aptus®
The GX60 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.
Dedicated Management Ethernet Port
The GX60 has a Management Ethernet Port on the ACU front that enables direct and simple
network connection between a PC and the ACU. The Management Port allows Internet
access and quick access to Intellian's remote management solution, the Aptus Web.
Wireless access via Wi-Fi
The built-in Wi-Fi wireless network card enables the ACU to be wirelessly connected and can
be turned on and off by a switch. Wireless devices such as PCs, laptops and smartphones
can be used to connect to the ACU and monitor, enabling users to control and change the
settings of Intellian antenna system wirelessly.
Industry-leading standards compliance
The GX60 is designed to meet or exceed FCC and ETSI specications, as well as EN60945,
EN60950, R&TTE, DNV2.4 Class C specication.
Automatic satellite switching
The GX60 supports auto satellite and beam switching for seamless continuous coverage.
