MARITIME VSAT

FIXED COMMUNICATIONS COSTS

Tired of guessing what your communications costs are going to be? VSAT Broadband offers fixed monthly costs for your satellite communications.

Across the maritime industry, the trend is growing toward IP-based applications. Whether it's more reliable ship-to-shore connectivity using VoIP, VPN or video, to smoother vessel operation via real-time condition monitoring, or improved crew welfare by providing Internet access and email, the benefits are substantial.

But for years, maritime networks have been restricted by narrowband, pay-per-use services forcing expensive trade offs and less than adequate connectivity.

Fortunately, as technology has advanced, service providers now have a better choice for delivering high-speed VSAT services. Networks built using Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) allow for the intelligent sharing of bandwidth to provide a more reliable, efficient and costeffective option.

Furthermore, the falling prices and reduced sizes of stabilized VSAT antennas are expanding the market opportunity and propelling the uptake of TDMA systems throughout the maritime industry.
