Intellian v240M Introduction
The Intellian v240M is a 2.4 meter Multiband marine VSAT communication antenna
system, offering automatic switching between C and Ku-band. With its 3-axis
stabilized platform and enhanced vibration and shock damping design, the v240M
delivers outstanding performance on all vessels, no matter what the sea condition
is like.
Featuring patented technology available only from Intellian, the v240M enables
effortless and automatic switching between C-band and Ku-band satellites without
any physical changes to the antenna. The frequency band selection can be controlled
by the satellite modem, remotely by the operator, or conveniently at the ACU.
The v240M requires minimal involvement to commission. It is easy to operate and
also simple to upgrade and manage. Each unit comes preloaded with a ready-
to-use, customizable satellite library that can be conveniently tailored via Aptus®,
Intellian's remote antenna control software. The Wi-Fi enabled ACU provides easy
connection to and control of the antenna, simplifying routine processes, such as
rmware updates, routine maintenance and diagnostics.
In cases where the ACU is installed at a large distance from the antenna, the built-in
Bluetooth connection module on the antenna itself enables a PC connection from
within the radome, making it easy to move and control the antenna while observing
operation for diagnostic purposes.
Robust and versatile, the v240M marks a new era for VSAT connectivity on the open
water for deep sea vessels that require global coverage.

INTRODUCTION
Intellian v240M Features
Automatic Frequency Band Switching
The Intellian v240M antenna automatically changes between C-band and Ku-band
operation since it does not require any manual or physical changes to the antenna
system. When a target satellite or operational frequency is selected from the ACU
or the Aptus®program, the patented band changing assembly is automatically
adjusted.
RF Switch Enabled Modem Mediator
Intellian supplies a Modem Mediator as an option. This allows the user to install
either one single satellite modem for both C and Ku-band, or two separate modems
to support each frequency band.
When operating in a network that offers intelligent beam switching, a single modem
may be used. When the user requires the enhanced features of a more specialized
modem, then the Modem Mediator manages this, removing the need to swap
cables onboard.
DVB/DVB-S2 and NBD Detection Capability
Intellian v240M is capable of detecting DVB-S/DVB-S2 signal, SCPC, and Narrow-
Band signal through its integrated digital tuner and the narrow band detector (NBD).
Wireless Communication with the ACU
The v240M's ACU offers upgraded functions. The built-in wireless network card
enables the ACU to be wirelessly connected to the vessel's network, and can be
activated or deactivated by a switch on the rear of the ACU. Once enabled, the
antenna can be managed and controlled from any PC or Mobile Device via the
Aptus software.
Antenna Data Log and Firmware Upgrade through USB
The v240M ACU now automatically stores all function data onto a built-in 256MB
memory. All existing logs are stored in the 256MB for a one month of period, and
can be transferred onto a USB drives.
In addition, the ACU rmware can be automatically updated and upgraded by
plugging in a USB drive which contains the rmware update les.
Bluetooth Module Support
With the antenna is equipped with the Intellian supplied Bluetooth module on the
main control unit, users can access and control the antenna with a laptop that
has Bluetooth capability from within the radome. This functionality streamlines the
installation and maintenance process.
Maximized RF Performance
The main reector, Feed-horn and other RF parts are newly designed to maximize
the antenna performance for maritime applications. With the highest level of gain
and Maximum Allowed EIRP Density amongst the similar-sized VSAT antenna
systems, the Intellian v240M also conforms to various ESV (Earth-Station-on
Vessels) standards and FCC requirements.

Easy Installation, Setup and Operation
The v240M installation and setup are easier than ever before. Once a satellite’s
peak signal position is acquired during initial setup, the unit automatically readjusts
accordingly every time it boots (bow, home sensor offset, azimuth, and elevation
position), saving you huge amounts of time and effort.
Future Proof Satellite Network
With the v240M, end-users and service providers will enjoy greater exibility of
space segment selection, allowing them access to greater data rates, lower cost
space segment, better performance, and enhanced regulatory compliance, now
and into the future.
