Intellian i1 Overview

The Intellian i1 system has the world’s smallest in-motion marine satellite TV antenna ever. The i1 is a perfect solution for small boats, tuna towers, and sailboats with its compact and stylish design. It brings the boaters an affordable, yet luxurious entertainment system to access their favorite satellite TV channels freely when the vessels are in port or traveling around the coastal waters.

With its patent-pending innovations in Wide Range Search (WRS) and Dynamic Beam Tilting (DBT) technologies, the Intellian TV antennas do not need fragile or superfluous motion sensors. The i1 offers the most precise tracking capability and superior satellite signal reception while the vessel is cruising at high speed or in rough sea conditions.

The more up-to-date design of the i1 has an intelligent, built-in TriSat module in its control unit that offers boaters satellite TV broadcasts automatically from leading satellite TV service providers without any extra conversion boxes and wiring.

For simplicity and savings, the i1 brings you hassle-free installation with its single cable design between the antenna and the control unit. For flexibility, there is a second RF connector on the antenna base. In addition, the i1 has adopted a built-in GPS interface (NMEA 0183,) allowing boaters to plug-in an external GPS to speed up acquisition time.
