Model Description

SAILOR 900 VSAT is a perfect stabilized Ku-band antenna system for marine vessels, created with the same high quality and excellent characteristics that have allowed the SAILOR system to maintain leadership in the production of professional marine communication equipment for decades. Thousands of systems sold worldwide in the shortest time really set a new standard.

SAILOR 900 VSAT is a simple and quick to deploy, three-axis stabilized VSAT antenna with excellent radio frequency characteristics in the meter band. Comprehensive Eutelsat testing has shown that SAILOR 900 VSAT works with all advanced VSAT platforms presented on the market.

Each SAILOR 900 VSAT antenna system undergoes factory testing, is equipped with standardized high-quality radio frequency components – 8-watt BUC (antenna frequency converter), LNB (low-noise block downconverters), object control unit/diplexer, – and with only one cable between the antenna and below-deck spaces. The antenna is delivered fully balanced, configured and requires no pre-installation operations. This saves time and money, and provides excellent radio frequency characteristics, making SAILOR 900 VSAT the most economical Ku-band antenna on the market.

SAILOR 900 VSAT can work with two antenna systems with one modem without the need for an additional unit to control this function. This need arises when the vessel requires communication with the satellite in the presence of interference to this communication. The connection between the satellite and the modem is controlled by two SAILOR antenna controllers.
