Precautions
Precautions
THIS WAY UP
• Place the boxes/crates on the oor with the arrow pointing up.
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.

Introduction
Introduction
Intellian v100NX Introduction
Intellian v100NX is a Ku-band 3-axis stabilized VSAT maritime antenna system. The v100NX provides
advanced VSAT solutions for Ku-band satellite services that are also designed to be convertible to Ka-band
network. v100NX is equipped with a new mounting architecture RF module.
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 v100NX is even more operator-friendly in that it combines TX, RX and DC power into one cable, simplifying
installation. With the new radome design, the dome-on external single cable connection means that installers
do not need to remove the radome during installation either.
Equipped with Intellian's next generation Antenna Control Software, "AptusNX", the v100NX antenna can be
easily accessed, monitored and controlled. This new simply congured tool can alert an operator to possible
problems with its enhanced diagnostic capabilities and can also provide automatic alerts when preventative
maintenance may be required.
The v100NX 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 v100NX Features
Higher RF Performance
Intellian's highly efcient RF design delivers superior performance compared to other 1 meter class systems,
enabling higher data rates and global operation. The v100NX has improved tracking precision and reliability
in a compact and streamlined mechanical design. The v100NX system is supplied as standard with 8 W BUC,
or can be supplied with 16 W and 25 W variants.
Future Proof Communications
The v100NX can be simply upgraded from Ku- to Ka-band operation by changing the center mounted RF
Assembly and Feed using an available conversion kit. Frequency tuned reector and radome ensure maximum
performance across both Ku- and Ka-bands.
Single Coaxial Cable
Combined Tx, Rx and DC power in a Single Cable solution, the v100NX enables faster and reduced costs of
installation. Dynamic Motor Brakes, eliminating the requirement of shipping brackets, and Dome-On external
RF cable connection on the base allow easier and quicker installation without removing the radome.
Embedded Dual Antenna Mediator function
Intellian's new ACU fully supports dual antenna operation without additional hardware such as a separate
mediator, RF splitters and cables. Eliminate loss of signal due to blockage by using dual antenna systems.
Standardized Modular Components Across NX Series
Modular components are used throughout the NX range, such as dynamically braked motors with integrated
encoders, Main Control Unit and skew assembly. Sharing common modules across Intellian's NX antenna
series, the number of spare parts is reduced by more than 30%.
AptusNX Intelligent Diagnosis
Intellian's all new integrated M&C software, enables advanced alerts from the live data monitoring and analysis
agent, the v100NX sends warning messages to the NOC in advance when it detects any abnormal operation.
Intuitive web application interface is designed to provide a superior user experience. AptusNX enhances
remote diagnosis, automates routine processes and includes an integrated spectrum analyzer. The AptusNX
API enables integration directly within an NOC for total eet-wide visibility.

Introduction
Antenna Unit
The antenna unit includes an antenna pedestal inside a radome assembly unit. The pedestal consists of a
satellite antenna main dish with RF components mounted on a stabilized pedestal. The radome protects the
antenna pedestal assembly unit from the severe marine environment.

Planning Installation
Antenna Dimensions
Conrm the height and diameter of the bottom surface of the antenna unit before installing it. The mounting
surface and overall space occupied by the antenna must be sufcient for the height and diameter of the
fully constructed radome on top of its base frame. The height and the diameter of the bottom surface of the
antenna are as shown in the following drawing. It is strongly suggested that the installation is conducted using
a crane.
