Intellian Technologies, Inc. has introduced its latest development in satellite communication technology with the unveiling of the Iridium Certus C200 Maritime terminal.
This new terminal, which promises to be more compact and lightweight than its predecessors, will debut at The Shipbuilding, Machinery and Marine Conference (SMM) in Hamburg, Germany. Customers can anticipate receiving the product in Spring 2023.
Innovation from Intellian’s L-Band Center
The Intellian C200 Maritime terminal is the most recent creation from the company's L-Band Center of Excellence in London, UK.
It is engineered for global, low-latency Iridium Certus service and is adaptable to various Maritime market segments. Its compactness and lightweight make it suitable for any vessel size, including Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs), allowing single-engineer installations.
Features and Capabilities
The C200 also supports safety applications like the GMDSS due to its reliability
Sharing core technologies with the respected C700 Maritime terminal, the C200 can function independently or alongside a VSAT. It delivers IP data speeds up to 176 Kbps and supports multiple concurrent phone calls via three high-quality voice lines. The inclusion of features such as built-in firewall, IP PBX, WAN port, and Wi-Fi enhances its robustness as an L-band solution.
The C200 also supports safety applications like the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) due to its reliability. It is a valuable tool for safety, bridge and crew welfare communications, IoT applications like engine monitoring, and low-scale situational awareness reporting. These integrated features simplify setup and reduce potential equipment conflicts, appealing to cost-sensitive sectors.
Collaboration and Future Prospects
Eric Sung, CEO of Intellian, remarked on the benefits of the dedicated L-Band Center, stating, “It is great to see the value of having our dedicated L-Band Center of Excellence, with focused resource and expertise, developing innovative products to benefit our customers.” Sung further noted the success of the partnership with Iridium and expressed anticipation for future developments.
Customer Engagement
Wouter Deknopper, Vice President of Maritime at Iridium, expressed enthusiasm about showcasing the C200 at SMM, emphasizing its potential for delivering global coverage through low-power equipment.
He stated, “From vessel monitoring systems, IoT and sensor data collection and transmission, to business applications like web browsing, email, voice calling, and chat functions, our focus has been on delivering an affordable, weather-resilient broadband connectivity solution with the capabilities that our customers need.”
Intellian Technologies, Inc., the major global technology and solutions provider for satellite communications, has announced the development of the new Iridium Certus C200 Maritime terminal – a more compact and lightweight version that joins the industry-pioneering C700 Maritime terminal.

Intellian C200 Maritime terminal
The Intellian C200 Maritime terminal is so compact and light that it can fit on any vessel size, including Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV), and can be easily carried on board and installed by a single engineer.
It also shares many features and underlying technologies with the market leading Intellian C700 Maritime terminal, known for its dependability and performance. It can be set up as a standalone terminal or as a VSAT companion and offers IP data speeds of up to 176 Kbps (up and down).
It also enables multiple concurrent phone calls thanks to three simultaneous high-quality voice lines. The C200 terminal is a robust, feature-rich L-band solution.
Essential characteristics
Essential characteristics include built-in firewall, an IP PBX, a WAN port, and Wi-Fi. Additionally, due to its stability and dependability, it provides the perfect basis for future Iridium Certus-based safety services like the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
Applications including safety, bridge and crew welfare communications, connected ship IoT features like engine monitoring and remote diagnostics, as well as situational awareness reporting at a lower scale, all become more efficient with connectivity.
Bringing all these features together in one package simplifies installation and configuration and eliminates the possibility of conflicts that can occur when these features are provided using connected equipment. This C200 terminal opens up these solutions to more cost sensitive sectors.
Developing innovative products
Eric Sung, CEO of Intellian said, “It is great to see the value of having our dedicated L-Band Center of Excellence, with focused resource and expertise, developing innovative products to benefit our customers.”
“We are pleased to be expanding our partnership with Iridium, our collaboration so far has been a great success, and we are excited by what the future holds. At Intellian, our aim is to provide our customers with innovation, value, and the lowest cost of ownership, and the C200 will be another great example of this.”
