Intellian Technologies Inc., a pioneering global provider of feature-rich, resilient satellite communications solutions, announces the development of a 3.6m TVRO system, to enable passengers on cruise ships access to TV services worldwide.
Available for pre-order with delivery scheduled for later this year, the t360CK is a groundbreaking system thanks to its ability to electronically switch between C-Band and Ku-Band, while supporting C-Band linear and circular polarisation in the same feed, helping blockage mitigation and creating true system resiliency for the TVRO services.
Greater availability of services
The system will also provide greater diversity allowing for multiple modes of operation
The system will also provide greater diversity allowing for multiple modes of operation; individual or combined link configurations for greater availability of services.
For the cruise lines, this means less downtime and resources spent on feed swaps to the antenna while changing regions, as now these changes and adjustments can be made automatically through Aptus NTV (GUI).
New hardware design
The new hardware design will make the system one of the lightest 3.6m TVRO systems available in the market, without compromising the quality and architecture that Intellian are renowned for. The t360CK has also been designed with 5G mitigation.
This technology, proprietary of Intellian, reduces the C-Band interference as you get closer to shore, enabling live TV at all times. With most of the components shared across a wide range of terminals for reliability, the t360CK becomes a user-friendly unit with exceptional performance in the RF path.
Intellian's latest GUI
Users can create different groups of satellites to meet their needs when changing regions
Aptus NTV is Intellian's latest GUI for their TVRO system. In it, customers can configure and make all the changes they want in the system without leaving the GUI interface, including switching between broadcast satellite presets. Furthermore, users can create different groups of satellites to meet their needs when changing regions and can also add or change satellite information using the improved library system.
Intellian’s exceptional technology and build quality, in addition to the simple configuration of the unit thanks to Aptus NTV, makes the t360CK an excellent addition to any cruise fleet, meeting the demands of their customers while also reducing the costs associated with maintenance and servicing of the units onboard.
New t360CK designed for every vessel
Eric Sung, CEO at Intellian Technologies Inc, said: “Cruise ships are like connected cities at sea, and with that comes the demand to provide services on board at a quality, if not better, than you would ashore. Despite the ever increasing subscriptions of streaming services, there’s still huge demand onboard for TV to watch live sport and news."
"Our new t360CK is designed to facilitate this demand on every vessel with both circular and linear polarisation, 5G mitigation and individual or combined links, making it even easier for entertainment and engineering teams onboard to deliver operational excellence.”
