The TV satellite antennas of Glomex are refurbished in technology and performance: the new HPD (High Performance Dish) parabolic dishes with flanged LNB, combined with the innovative software for signal research, allow the compensation of quality losses due to satellite multiplication on the terrestrial orbit and to transmission on same frequency.

Venus is the TV satellite antenna with compact dimensions (dish diameter 390 mm/15'') and thanks to the new MKII+ hardware and software series, ensures improved quality performance of satellite signal reception and tracking when cruising, when anchor riding or when moored. Venus is equipped with an efficient compensation system (for boat roll and pitch) by means of electronic gyro-stabilizers (EGS), and with a single coaxial rotating joint (CRJ), allowing the antenna to balance the reception of the signal by turning infinitely on the azimuth axis, since no coaxial cable wrapping (SCC) is needed. Venus is equipped with a control unit that can be embedded in the electronic panel on board. Seven satellites are already precharged on the control unit, and they're recognized by the NIT system (Network Identification Table). It is ready for future updating.
