Intellian v100 Introduction
Intellian v100 (1.03m) is a Ku-band 3-axis stabilized VSAT maritime antenna system.
The v100 provides advanced VSAT solutions for Ku-band satellite services that are
also designed to be convertible to Ka-band network. v100 is equipped with a new
mounting architecture of RF module consisting of BUC and LNB.
The v100 is built to meet or exceed the industry’s most stringent standards such
as FCC, ETSI, R&TT and MIL-STD-167. 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.
Equipped with Intellian’s next generation Antenna Control Software, ‘Aptus®’, the
v100 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 v100 has also 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 ACU that supports automatic IP conguration.
The v100 is fully integrated with ABS (Automatic Beam Switching) function with
various platform compatibility such as the OpenAMIP protocol of iDirect and the
ROSS Open Antenna Management (ROAM) protocol of Comtech. The v100 is
supplied with both cross-pol and co-pol feeds and comes equipped with Intellian’s
patent pending Global PLL LNB by standard.

INTRODUCTION
Intellian v100 Features
Balance-free installation
The v100 is equipped with an integrated RF module consisting of BUC and LNB. This BUC
and LNB mounting assembly is attached to the rear side of the reector in order to support
easy conversion and balance-free installation.
Optimized reector for Ku or Ka-band
The v100 is designed and engineered to operate on both Ku and Ka-band. The reector of
the v100 is capable of handling either Ku or Ka-band without the need to replace the reector
when the system is converted to Ka-band. The system is supplied with a Ku-band feed chain
as standard. The 1m reector for the v100 satises EIRP and G/T performance of both Ku
and Ka-band.
Gyro-free satellite search capability
Intellian’s new generation gyro-free satellite search function enables the v100 to acquire and
lock onto the satellite without requiring a separate input from the ship’s gyrocompass.
DVB/DVB-S2 and NBD detection capability
Intellian v100 is capable of detecting DVB-S/DVB-S2 signal, SCPC, and Narrow- Band signal
using integrated digital tuner and the narrow band detector (NBD).
Graphical and user-friendly antenna control software
Intellian’s next generation Antenna Control Software, ‘Aptus®’ is developed based on the
Intellian developed ‘Antenna Remote Management System (ARMS) Software Development
Kit (SDK)’. This graphic-based software is designed to remotely monitor and control Intellian
antennas through an IP network.
Dedicated Management Ethernet Port
The v100 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 supports DHCP
network connection by default, allowing automatic IP congurations, 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 that can
be either turned on and off by a switch. Any kind of wireless devices such as PCs, laptops
and smartphones can be used to connect to the ACU and monitor, control and change the
settings of Intellian antenna system wirelessly.
Intelligent rmware upgrade
Intellian v100 provides easy and intelligent rmware upgrade methods. Firmware upgrade
can be automatically initiated by plugging a rmware stored USB Memory Stick to the USB
Port on the ACU front or by launching ‘Firmware Upgrade’ on the Aptus®or Aptus Web.
User 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 ACU’s built-in memory stores the
current and previous rmware les.

INSTALLING THE ANTENNA
Planning the Installation
Selection of Antenna Installation Site
Install the antenna in accordance with the following procedures to insure maximum
performance of the antenna. The ideal antenna site has a clear view of the horizon
or satellite all around. Please be sure there are no obstacles within 15º above the
center of the antenna. Any obstacles can prevent the antenna from transmitting and
receiving the satellite signal.
Do not install the antenna near the radar especially on the same plane as its energy
levels may overload the antenna front-end circuits. It is recommended to position
the antenna at least 4 feet (1.2 m) above or below the level of the radar and minimum
of 15 feet (4.6 m) away from the high power short wave radars.
The mounting platform should be rigid enough and not subjected to excessive
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 between the various considerations.

Congure Radiation Hazard/Block Zones
It is important to set up the radiation hazard or block zones for Intellian VSAT
communication systems. The ACU can be programmed with relative azimuth and
elevation sectors to create up to ve zones where transmit power would endanger
personnel who are frequently in that area or blockage exists. Several things happen
when the antenna is within one of these zones.
1. “BLOCK” will be displayed on the ACU screen.
2. Tracking continues as long as the signal level is greater than the predened
threshold value. When the signal level drops below the threshold value the
antenna will wait “Search Wait Time” parameter amount of time and re-target the
satellite you targeted last. The antenna will continue to re-target the satellite until
the satellite is re-acquired and tracking can be resumed.
3. A transmit inhibit output from the ACU will disable/mute the modem transmission.
RF Hazard Precautions
The antenna is designed to be used with radiation transmit equipment manufactured
by others. Exposure to RF radiation, including exposure associated with an improper
use of the transmit equipment, may be hazardous to persons close to the above
deck unit. Ensure safety of personnel who work on the system.
During transmission, ensure to keep the minimum safety distance. The recommended
minimum safety distance to the reector on the focal line is about 15m, based on a
radiation level of 5mW/ cm2 that applies under occupational/controlled environment.
No hazard exists >20° below the antenna’s mounting plane.
Safe access from radiation hazard
