Exclusive Technology
The Lightest, Ultra-fast, High Efficiency Antenna

It provides high-performance tracking in all sea states with 2-axis pedestal design, stabilized skew, dual digital IMUs, and advanced motor controllers.

Global Connections, Unmatched Speed
The mini-VSAT Broadband HTS network offers 276 million square km (106+ million square miles) of Ku-band coverage. Enjoy global connections and unmatched speed as fast as 6 Mpbs/2 Mbps (down/up)2 using advanced next-generation high-throughput satellites (HTS) from Intelsat and SKY Perfect JSAT. Plus, you get greater resilience to weather and rain fade than with Ka-band services.
