Leading firms in the TV network market are directing their efforts towards incorporating automation and intelligent technologies like maritime satellite TV antennas. Such technology aims to cut down labor expenses and boost service delivery efficiency. Maritime satellite TV antennas are custom systems that can receive satellite TV signals even when on water. This allows ships and yachts to enjoy an array of TV programs, no matter their location. For example, Cobham Satcom, a satellite communication solutions and services firm based in Denmark, introduced their latest maritime satellite TV antenna, the Sea Tel 370s TV, in July 2024. This antenna, specifically designed for cruise ships and mega yachts, is intended to enrich program options and service quality. Making use of the advanced Sea Tel Integrated Marine Electronics (IMA) platform, the 3.7-meter antenna automates manual tasks to facilitate the viewing of popular worldwide television channels at sea, considerably reducing lifelong technical expenses. Among its key features is the automatic C-band switching between circular and linear polarization, which allows uninterrupted viewing of live channels like ESPN during significant sports events. Also crucial is the antenna's ability to overcome recent issues with 5G interference with satellite TV signals, guaranteeing exceptional performance even under challenging atmospheric situations.
