  • Lars Thrane LT-3100S GMDSS Terminal
    The LT-3100S GMDSS terminal from Lars Thrane A/S is the first GMDSS solution to be available for Iridium's 100% global coverage GMDSS service....

  • The LT-3100S Iridium GMDSS Terminal from Lars Thrane A/S is the first GMDSS solution to be available for the Iridium GMDSS service.  It provides, not only, the key services for GMDSS compliance - such as Distress Alert and Maritime Safety Information (MSI) - but also incorporates non-GMDSS features - non-priority voice, data and SMS - in one small form factor.

    The LT-3100S GMDSS terminal is designed to exceed the requirements of the GMDSS and is an alternative to the Inmarsat C/mini-C terminals and combines voice and data capabilities with 100% global coverage. The LT-3100S GMDSS terminal consists of a control unit, handset, and an antenna unit. A single cable solution connects the control unit with the antenna unit – with cable runs up to 500 meters possible.

    The LT-3100S GMDSS terminal is not only designed for GMDSS services, it also offers SSAS (via additional equipment) and LRIT functionalities. It can be used as the primary satellite communication product on vessels, covering the basic communication needs in terms of connectivity between the ship and shore, and vice versa via voice, SMS and data.  With competitive airtime rates, it’s the perfect satellite communication product onboard any vessel.

    Key Features:

    • 100% Global GMDSS Coverage (Sea Areas A1 to A4)
    • Distress Alert & Safety Voice
    • Maritime Safety Information (MSI)
    • Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT)
    • Ship Security Alert System (SSAS), via additional equipment
    • Single antenna cable solution (up to 500 m)
    • Voice, SMS, SBD, and Modem Data (non-priority)
    • Large 4.3″ TFT display on Control Unit
    • Operational temperature range from -40⁰C to +55⁰C (-40⁰F to +131⁰F)

    Support for:

    • External Alarm Panels
    • GMDSS Printer
    • Bridge Alert Management (BAM)

    The LT-3100S Iridium GMDSS terminal is very easy to install; the control unit can be installed using either a bracket mount (included) or flush mount (option), and the antenna unit can be mounted using either a pole mount (1.5″ tube) or angle bracket mount (1″ to 2.5″ tube).

  • SAILOR 1000 XTR Ku System
    The SAILOR 1000 XTR Ku antenna is pure innovation and forms the first of a new generation of antennas in Cobham’s new SAILOR XTR Platform....

  • The SAILOR 1000 XTR Ku antenna is pure innovation and forms the first of a new generation of antennas in Cobham’s new SAILOR XTR Platform. This is a full ground-up redevelopment of the tried, trusted and proven SAILOR 900/800/600 series. The result is a step-change in efficiency and reliability, with new capabilities to maximise performance and optimise customer service, resulting in industry-leading uptime on Ka- and Ku-band satellite networks in any orbit.

    The new Sailor 1000 XTR Ku antenna will provide you with overall improved serviceability, this will allow you to reduce costs and increase efficiency. There are fewer antenna modules and more generic service parts to support easier issue diagnosis and quicker repairs and fewer spare parts needed, to keep the VSAT online for a reduced overall cost vs. existing technology.

    The new benefits are further illustrated through the pioneering features below:

    • 80% fewer parts – compared to the previous series
    • Lighter weight – approx. 20KG difference between 1000 XTR and SAILOR 900
    • Future-proof design – ready for Wideband and Geostationary Orbits (GSO) and Non-Geostationary Orbits (NGSO - GEO, HEO, MEO and LEO)
    • NEW pedestal design – for 80/100/120cm apertures enables maximum flexibility; easy to convert between bands and constellations
    • NEW Antenna Control Module – located inside the Above Deck Unit, with super-fast processor and new modular star network component topology empowers deep self-diagnostics capabilities and extended, highly secure remote access which contributes to optimisation of antenna operation and management
    • NEW Modular star network topology – Antenna Control Module is connected directly to each module (rather than daisy-chained) to aid:
      • Precise fault description
      • Easy debugging
      • Service efficiency - Bring the right spare part
      • Reduced power on cables minimizes electrical noise (EMC)
    • NEW Powerful stepper motors – for all axis and antenna sizes; Same motors for all three axes:
      • Less electrical noise
      • Fewer spare-parts needed
      • Easy replacement – all-in-one unit
      • Smaller and less weight
      • Higher torque – better performance in seaway.

    The SAILOR 1000 XTR Ku retains the best-in-class performance of the SAILOR 900 VSAT Ku and is available now to order from AST.
