i-Series Intellian Satellite For Marine
Compact, Lightweight TV at sea.
Compact and lightweight, the Intellian i2 delivers exceptional TV reception. Equipped with Intellian’s iQ² technologies, the i2 delivers stable, quiet, dependable performance and superior value in the smallest size antenna available.
The i2 Highlights
- Smaller size with better performance
- Auto satellite switching function for three satellites
- Compatible with leading satellite TV service providers around the world
- 60° per second turn rate ensures signal tracking at high speeds and in rough seas
- Travel further North or South with an extended elevation range of 10° to 80°
- Simplicity of design, no fragile compass and no rate sensors
- Built-in HD module for Ku-band
- Three year global warranty.

Constant and Seamless Entertainment
With innovative, patented iQ² technologies, the i2 always maintains the highest signal strength available to ensure crystal-clear TV reception. Intellian’s super-efficient 33cm (13 in) diameter antenna provides constant, seamless reception while the vessel is moored, at anchor, or cruising offshore. Connecting a GPS to the i2 allows it to lock onto a signal even faster, while boats with conventional antennas are left watching “SEARCHING FOR SATELLITE” on their screen.
Automatic Satellite Switching
DISH (US) and Bell TV (Canada) users will benefit from using an Intellian MIM (Multi-Satellite Interface Module) . The Intellian MIM is required to facilitate automatic switching between satellites for these services, allowing boaters to enjoy changing channels with automatic satellite switching just like a home system. See the Intellian MIM product guide for further details.
i2 Features
Fully Automated System
- Automatic Satellite Search and Identification Function
- 2-axis Stabilization provides high speed tracking
High Performance Antenna
- 33cm (13in) diameter, parabolic antenna for receiving Ku-Band satellite signals
- Circular or linear polarization depending on region and LNB selected
- Built-in HD module for Ku-band HD TV reception
iQ² Quick&Quiet? Technology
- iQ² Technology allows you to tune in quickly, maintain a solid signal lock, and enjoy your favorite TV programming in quiet comfort
- The Wide Range Search (WRS) Algorithm delivers the fastest signal acquisition available anywhere
- Dynamic Beam Tilting (DBT) technology uses intelligent, real-time beam analysis to ensure superior signal tracking while eliminating intrusive background noise experienced with conventional antennas
Antenna Control Unit
- Intuitive controls and digital satellite information display on the ACU
- Automated updates and diagnostics via Aptus
- Simple antenna status quick reference
Multiple Receiver Capability
- Multiple receivers and TVs can be connected using a Multi-Switch or the Intellian MIM (Multi-Satellite Interface Module)
- Using the MIM, a master receiver can be selected to control the target satellite
- In North America, when using Dish or Bell TV, a MIM is required, enabling automatic satellite switching from your remote control just like at home
Interface to External NMEA 0183 GPS Interface
- Standard NMEA Interface allowing a vessel owner to use a separate GPS system further reducing initial search time
Compact Size
- 37cm (14.6 inch) antenna radome diameter
- Very light antenna weighs less than 4.5 kg (10 pounds)
Three Year Global Warranty
- Industry leading 3-year parts and workmanship guarantee with a 2-year labor warranty for all antenna systems, ensuring peace of mind with your hardware investment
