The Intellian FB150 is a satellite communication solution designed to provide global data and voice for business, operational or recreational applications in a compact size and light weight ADU (Above Deck Unit) with the matching dome solution. The Intellian FB250 enables the opportunity to enter the broadband arena for commercial vessels providing all the required functions. The Intellian FB 500 communication with FleetBroadband service is designed for intensive use onboard merchant and offshore vessels whilst being suited to large fishing and workboat applications.


All three new products complement Intellian’s GX hardware and are XpressLink systems capable. They all have three-year warranty and all feature fleet tracking and ‘Geofencing’.
