INTELLIAN TO RELEASE NEW SATCOM TERMINAL

Satellite communications equipment manufacturer Intellian Technologies Inc announced a more compact and lightweight version of its popular C700 maritime terminal, which it describes as a more affordable option for boaters including owners of smaller vessels. The all-new Iridium Certus C200 maritime terminal made its global debut last week. Developed at Intellian’s new L-Band Center of Excellence in the UK, the C200 maritime terminal is designed to deliver global, low-latency Iridium Certus service in an adaptable satcom system for all market segments. The company says the new terminal is small enough to fit on any vessel size, and can be easily installed by a single engineer. I t can be set up as a standalone terminal or as a VSAT companion, and offers IP data speeds of up to 176 Kbps (up and down). Major features include built in firewall, IP PBX, WAN port and Wi-Fi, and the ability to enable multiple concurrent phone calls thanks to three simultaneous, high-quality voice lines. The new terminal is also said to work with Certus-based safety services like the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). The company says it expected to begin shipping product in spring 2023. www.advancetrident.com
