Cobham plans to launch the Sea Tel Model 4012, the industry's first and only highly-integrated one-metre Ku-band to Ka-band upgradable marine-stabilised antenna system, 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 4009 antenna pedestal, the Model 4012 system will be GX ready at launch. 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.
The model 4012 architecture is being designed for ease of installation including one- step commissioning, web user interface with secured socket layer (SSL) password protection, built-in remote management capabilities, and easy integration into network management systems through its media exchange point (MXP).
