Cobham’s Delivers The 4010 Series Antenna Via The MTN Satellite Communications (MTN) Product Portfolio 

20 September 2010

Cobham SATCOM announced that MTN Satellite Communications is incorporating Sea Tel’s 4010 marine stabilized antenna into its product portfolio. The 4010 series is a lighter weight, easy-to-install, marine stabilized antenna system for broadband connectivity and is a great fit for the vessels operating in normal sea states. The new antenna will be deployed to the commercial shipping and offshore industries, and fits well within MTN’s existing 1m network.

”We were pleased with our evaluation of the 4010 antenna and believe it is a great addition to our product portfolio. Since 1986, Sea Tel has always listened to MTN’s design needs and we couldn’t have asked for a better alternative than the 4010 for MTN’s specialized users,” said Richard A. Hadsall, senior vice president and CTO at MTN. “It is important to us to offer solutions that best fit our customer’s specific requirements based on where and when they travel.”

“It is great to have a business relationship with MTN,” said John DeSana, vice president of Cobham SATCOM. “Cobham believes in the Always Ahead strategy to support its customers’ Always On VSAT network. This commitment from MTN is a testament to our support to our dealers by offering them well-thought through, fully-tested products.”

Available in 40 inch (100cm) and 50 inch (125cm) reflector sizes, the 4010 is configured to be compatible with all Ku-Band frequencies. It is designed to meet some of the most stringent design specifications such as EN 60945, MIL STD 461, MIL STD 167-1 and IEC 60950. The 4010 will run with the Sea Tel DAC (digital antenna controller), along with the latest generation electronics and software. The 4010 system is fully enabled to work with remote management devices to provide remote access, control and management of the system. The antenna will also be equipped with the proven Sea Tel stabilization system, isolating the antenna system from ship’s motion.  The 4010 is available both in co-polarization configuration for global customers and cross polarization configuration for regional customers.
