THIS WAY UP
• Place the boxes/crates on the oor noting the direction of the arrow.
FRAGILE
• Since the Radome is fragile, handle it with care. Do not apply excessive pressure or shock.
These may cause surface cracking or other damage.
DO NOT STACK
• Do not stack boxes/crates as there is a risk boxes/crates may fall and be damaged.
KEEP DRY
• Always make sure the antenna is stored on a dried oor.
• The antenna can withstand ordinary rain. However it water resistance cannot be guaranteed
if submerged.
• Keep the antenna in dried place for sufcient ventilation. Do not store the antenna wrapped
in a tarp, tent, vinyl, and others.
General Precautions
Before you use the antenna, make sure that you have read and understood all safety requirements.

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 BDT.
The GX60 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 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 BDT 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

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 BDT-Global Xpress™ Core Module
The all new GX BDT combines the Core Module internally with the Below Deck Terminal, 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.
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 BDT front that enables direct and simple network connection between a PC
and the BDT. 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 BDT 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 BDT 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.

Planning Installation
Selection of Antenna Installation Site
The mounting platform should be robust enough and not subject to vibration. The movement of the antenna can
be minimized by installing at the center of the vessel. If these conditions can be only partially satised, nd the
best compromised installation site.
look Angle
-20° to +115°
Obstruction
Antenna
Unit
Minimize Satellite Blockage
Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to ensure maximum performance of the antenna.
The ideal antenna site should have a clear view of the horizon or satellite with all around clearance. Please be
sure there are no obstacles within the EL range -20° to +115° from the center of the antenna. Obstacles can
prevent the antenna from transmitting and receiving the satellite signal.
