Isolation at sea is no longer a viable
option. High speed data transmission and multi-channel voice communications have become as
critical at sea as they are on land. Two-way fax, voice, multi-conferencing, Internet and
video links improve morale and day-to-day operations by bringing sea and shore together.
With Sea Tel, you can count on precise, reliable uplinks and downlinks - regardless of
weather or movement. |
|
|
|
|
|
Sea Tel customers that have very large
communications requirements typically use these systems. They typically provide 64-256
Kb/s data rates. Up to 1,544 Mb/s have been supported. End users include the offshore oil
industry, cruise ships and the US Navy, freighters, tankers, fishing and foreign navies
from around the globe. |

Series 96 and Series 97
are the new standard for seaborne tracking systems with MIL-spec performance at commercial
prices. When Ka-band satellites come on line, these antennas are ready - with pointing
accuracy so high you can have all the data intensive services on board that you would
expect from a land-based system. |

Sea Tel's new Series 96 and Series 97
are the highest performance stabilization platforms for transmit and receive applications
ever built commercially. They represent the next generation of marine stabilized antenna
systems for Satellite Communications and TV-at-Sea.
For the price of lesser systems, you get the unsurpassed quality of this superior
technology.
The applications are voice and high speed data delivering telephone, fax, high speed data
services (ISDN, plus), video and images, video conferencing, Internet and more.
Series 96 Model 4096 passed US Navy Military Specifications Test 901D for shock standards
and Test 167B for Mast Mount Vibration. This marks the first time a
commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) stabilized antenna system has ever passed military shock
and vibration test standards.
Both the Series 96 and Series 97 share their high levels of performance and reliability,
differing only in their antenna sizes and structural elements supporting the larger
dishes. Using solid state electronics, both the Series 96 and Series 97 have fewer
moving parts to breakdown giving you greater reliability at sea than ever before. |

What are the main
advantages of Series 96 and Series 97?
These new three axis pedestals incorporate Sea Tel's latest technology enhancement in
stabilization accuracy - for the price of lesser systems. In fact, stabilization
accuracies now approach 0.1 degrees maximum error in the presence of +25 degrees roll and
+ 15 degrees pitch. From C-band to Ku-band, you'll see a difference in signal stability,
fewer acquisition losses and greater reception clarity. |

|
|
|
|
What does this mean to the
Sea Tel customer?
You gain enhanced performance and reliability invoice, fax, satellite television and high
speed data applications to mariners from Ku-band (1.5 GHz) to Ka-band (30/20 GHz)
frequencies. This dynamic performance is achieved through the interaction of two different
operations: |
|
|
Antenna stabilization - a platform stable enough to
neutralize even the most severe conditions at sea
Satellite tracking - staying locked on the signal with the incredible pointing accuracy of
Con Scan tracking |
|
|
|
|
|
|
But can Sea Tel deliver
when the weather gets rough?
The key to dependable marine communications is combining stabilization and tracking
accuracy and to do it effectively in harsh weather conditions on the high seas. Only Sea
Tel can deliver the worlds most advanced generation of marine stabilized antenna systems
for commercial satellite communications at sea.
Others might be able to design commercial systems that work at the dock, but Sea Tel has
achieved these high performance levels for commercial applications even in the harsh
conditions of open sea. |

The Series 96 and the
Series 97. Products in both categories have many similarities. The primary
differences in the categories are the size of the dishes and the structural requirements
to support them.
Series 96 Satellite Communications Systems (transmit and receive) come with dish sizes of
1.0 meter, 1.2 meters and 1.4 meters. These are all linear Ku-band systems, upgradeable to
Ka-band.
Series 97 systems offer dish sizes of 1.5 meters, 2.05 meters and 2.4 meters. The 1.5 and
2.05 and 2.4 meter dishes are offered for linear Ku-band frequencies; the 2.05 and 2.4
meter dishes are also offered for linear C-band; and the 2.4 meter dish can also be used
for circular C-band applications.
All Series 96 and Series 97 products embrace these features:
Less than .2 degrees mis-pointing at +/- 25 degrees roll and +/- 15 degrees pitch
Automatic satellite acquisition
Unlimited azimuth turning
Automatic linear polang positioning (N/A for circular systems)
Unlimited outdoor cable run and ACU data multiplexed on coax
Versatile gyrocompass interface
Conical Scan Tracking
CE marked
Meets or exceeds US Navy Mil-standards for vibration, EMI & RFI and
Grade A shock |

DBS/DTH (Direct Broadcast Satellite,
USA, Direct-to-Home, Europe)
Football games, The Weather Channel, news, classic movies...over 200 channels of
entertainment can come screaming into your yacht with a Sea Tel marine satellite antenna.
All while you're still at sea, even in the roughest waters.
As your vessel pitches, yaws or rolls, Sea Tel's patented fast-acting correction
mechanisms continually adjust the antenna position to keep the antenna locked in on your
chosen satellite. Even our smallest system has been shown to maintain a reliable satellite
link in high seas and gale-force winds.
Our latest tracking antenna controller not only makes acquiring the right satellite
service easy, it lets you keep up with new services as they are added. To get the picture,
just enter the ship position, pick a satellite, and the system does the rest. Or let the
system search the sky for you automatically. All you do is kick back, relax, and watch TV
- just as you would at home.
Sea Tel offers a range of affordable and extremely reliable Direct Broadcast Satellite
(DBS) systems with radome-enclosed dishes from 20" to 48" across. You'll find
Sea Tel's TV-at-Sea systems on ships from personal yachts to cruise liners to aircraft
carriers. With more than 100 dealers in the US and in Europe, only Sea Tel has a 2-year
warranty and access to all programming providers includingDirectTV, USSB, Dish Network,
Galaxy Latin America (GLA) and in Europe, Astra, Eutelsat and Orbit.
To bring a whole New World of entertainment, look to the leader. Look to Sea Tel.

Model 2094
This small size dish provides a great picture and uses the same patented Sea Tel
technology as commercial dishes. Model 2094 provides a striking television picture and
digital quality sound for boats as small as 35 feet.
The picture quality we've packed into this compact unit will amaze you. It's the ideal
antenna system for entertainment, news and sports when while cruising in coastal and
inland waters. This new Sea Tel antenna is small enough to fit comfortably on a 35-foot
vessel. It's also the most affordable Sea Tel TV-at-Sea antenna system.
Model 2494
This model consists of a stabilized 24-inch diameter antenna enclosed in an attractive,
31" diameter radome and an antenna control unit. The active antenna stabilizer
electronically senses the yacht's motion and compensates - assuring a clear and reliable
signal. The antenna control unit provides the operation interface to the system and
communication with the antenna system via RS 422.
Sea Tel systems work with all satellite receivers in the US, Caribbean and Mediterranean.
In the US, the digital satellite receiver includes the access card to receive and decode
the digital satellite programming and provides easy to understand, on-screen programming
guides. The satellite receiver's remote control is used to navigate through the on-screen
display. For those yachts with more than one television set, all Sea Tel DBS/DTH systems
easily accommodate additional DBS/DTH satellite receivers. This allows each TV-viewer
on-board to watch the show of their choice without concern for what others might watch
elsewhere in the ship.
Models 3294, 4094 and 4894
Sailing in European waters, the Mediterranean, the southern Caribbean or along the
lower-powered satellite signals in these areas. These models bring in clear satellite TV
images long after lesser antennas have given up. So long as your ship is large enough to
support them, these are the models to choose when you want to be assured of quality
television programming anywhere there is a satellite TV signal available to be captured.
