Cobham SATCOM... A Stable Offering (SATCOM)


[SatNews] MTN Satellite Communications is incorporating Cobham SATCOM's Sea Tel’s 4010 marine stabilized antenna into its product portfolio.

The 4010 series is a lighter weight, easy-to-install, marine stabilized antenna system for broadband connectivity and is a great fit for the vessels operating in normal sea states. The new antenna will be deployed to the commercial shipping and offshore industries, and fits well within MTN’s existing 1m network. Available in 40 inch (100cm) and 50 inch (125cm) reflector sizes, the 4010 is configured to be compatible with all Ku-band frequencies. It is designed to meet some of the most stringent design specifications such as EN 60945, MIL STD 461, MIL STD 167-1 and IEC 60950. The 4010 will run with the Sea Tel DAC (digital antenna controller), along with the latest generation electronics and software. The 4010 system is fully enabled to work with remote management devices to provide remote access, control and management of the system. The antenna will also be equipped with the proven Sea Tel stabilization system, isolating the antenna system from ship’s motion. The 4010 is available both in co-polarization configuration for global customers and cross polarization configuration for regional customers. Cobham SATCOM’s Sea Tel range was founded in 1978, and is now one of the world's leading ranges of marine stabilized antenna systems for satellite communications and satellite television at sea. Cobham SATCOM has 30 years of marine experience and is dedicated to constant improvement through innovation and design enhancement. The antennas range from 14 inches to 14 feet, the widest range of any maritime antenna manufacturer and enable connectivity in the harshest environment on the planet across all maritime segments.
