SEA Tel's 4006 Marine Ku-band VSAT Antenna meets FCC's two-degree separation requirements.(NEW PRODUCTS)

Wireless Satellite and Broadcasting Newsletter, June, 2006

The new 4006 Marine Ku-band VSAT Antenna by SEA Tel has met the FCC's two-degree separation norm for tracking antennas. A ship, when at sea, requires broadband Internet or maritime VSAT. The antenna should be able to accurately point in all sea states. Communication regulators put restrictions on beam widths and antenna performance in order to avoid obstruction from signals which are meant for nearby satellites. Compliance is difficult to follow for smaller antennas. The huge systems on large vessels can access marine broadband speeds at sea.

With a -20 to 115 degree elevation range, the 4006 antenna is capable of tracking high- and low-elevation satellites. This broadens the useable coverage area for marine mobile VSAT. It is of significance in large areas...
