Inmarsat Beam Covert Anti-Piracy Antenna (CVTINM)

The Inmarsat Beam Covert Anti-Piracy Antenna (CVTINM) is a professional-grade product designed for reliable performance in business-critical and industrial environments. Built to meet commercial standards, it is suitable for daily operational use.

Specifically designed for the maritime market, the CVTINM is an anti-piracy communication solution. It is engineered to remain functional during boarding attempts by disguising its true purpose, appearing as standard non-communication equipment rather than a satellite antenna. This ensures that crew members can maintain contact with the outside world even if primary visible communication systems are targeted or destroyed.

Key Product Features

• Discreet Profile: Designed to look like a standard maritime light to avoid detection and intentional damage by unauthorised parties.
• Ruggedised Housing: Features a durable polycarbonate IP66-rated enclosure for protection against harsh marine environments and water ingress.
• Integrated Technology: The enclosure comes pre-fitted with an ISD710 Inmarsat antenna, supporting both satellite and GPS signals.
• Self-Powered Design: Receives DC power directly from the connected IsatDock MARINE, requiring no additional external power boxes.
• Industrial Build: Custom-designed by Beam to meet the specific security needs of high-risk maritime transit zones.

What’s Included

• 1x Covert Polycarbonate Enclosure
• 1x Integrated ISD710 Inmarsat Antenna (pre-fitted)
• Internal SMA Connectors for GSPS and GNSS (GPS)

Installation & Usage

The CVTINM is designed for permanent maritime installation, following the same mounting procedures as the standard ISD710 antenna to ensure ease of deployment.

• Mount the unit in a position that mimics the placement of a standard maritime light while maintaining a clear view of the sky.
• Connect the integrated antenna to a Beam IsatDock or Oceana fixed maritime unit using certified cables.
• Ensure the IP66-rated housing is properly secured to maintain its environmental seal against salt spray and rain.

Usage Tip: Position the covert antenna away from other obvious communication arrays to maximise its effectiveness as a backup system during a security incident.
