Cobham will launch ahead of schedule the much anticipated Sea Tel Model 4012, the industry’s first and only highly-integrated one-meter (1m) Ku-band to Ka-band upgradable marine-stabilized antenna system. It will be available for sale during the first quarter of 2012. The new antenna architecture can be upgraded to be fully compatible to work with Inmarsat’s Global Xpress (GX) network.
Based on the industry leading 4009 antenna pedestal, the Model 4012 system will be GX ready at launching. It will offer a simple and intuitive Ku to Ka upgrade path. The upgrade can be performed in the field in one or two short steps by a Cobham trained technician.
