THRANE & THRANE TO LAUNCH NEW, IN-HOUSE DEVELOPED SAILOR VSAT ANTENNA AT SMM 2010


The SAILOR 900 VSAT, a sophisticated new Ku-band VSAT antenna, will be launched
by Thrane & Thrane at the forthcoming SMM 2010 exhibition in Hamburg this
September. 

Designed in-house by Thrane & Thrane's experienced engineers, SAILOR 900 VSAT
represents a leap-forward in VSAT antenna performance and benefits from the
high reliability, build quality and functionality that has made SAILOR the
leading name in the world of maritime communications. 

“SAILOR 900 VSAT is an important milestone in our strategy to support the
maritime broadband market with high quality products,” comments Casper Jensen,
Vice-President Maritime Business Unit, Thrane & Thrane. “It complements our
highly successful and market dominant Inmarsat FleetBroadband family, and our
recently launched SAILOR Satellite TV systems whilst establishing a strong
platform for future developments in the VSAT arena.” 

SAILOR 900 VSAT is designed and built to the exact same standards as Thrane &
Thrane's SAILOR terminals for Inmarsat services, which have become the de facto
industry standard in the professional maritime industry thanks to their
reliability, suitability for the harsh maritime environment and the high-levels
of global support offered by Thrane & Thrane. 

Like SAILOR FleetBroadband products, SAILOR 900 VSAT has been designed with
ease of installation in mind. It is a powerful, quick and easy-to-deploy
four-axis stabilized Ku-band VSAT antenna featuring a low-profile and high
performance RF design. It can be easily integrated with all leading VSAT modem
units and the sophisticated Antenna Control Unit (ACU) features multiple LAN
and diagnostics ports, and Built-in Test Equipment (BITE). 

The SAILOR 900 VSAT is going to be the fourth in the line-up of SAILOR Ku-band
products, which include the SAILOR 700 VSAT, SAILOR 60 Satellite TV and SAILOR
90 Satellite TV. 

To find out more about the SAILOR 900 VSAT and Thrane & Thrane's complete range
of maritime radio and satellite communication systems visit the company in hall
B6, stand 333, at SMM 2010 in Hamburg, from 7th - 10th September 2010.
