The Sea Tel 97-series are large C-band stabilised antennas. With vast areas of ocean covered by C-band programming, vessels with the space for a Sea Tel 97 series antenna can enjoy satellite TV, even in remote areas of the Paciifc and Atlantic Ocean for example. This makes them particularly suited to cruise ships or large Superyachts.

All 97-series antennas are available with optional C plus Ku band feeds. This means that Ku band programs can be recieved when opertaing in the more limited Ku band satellite footprint areas near to the coast.
