Fleet Broadband delivers mid-band satellite connectivity optimized for vessel communications, navigational data updates, and voice calls. Utilizing compact maritime terminals and global satellite networks, Fleet Broadband ensures continuous access to essential services during oceanic transits. By offering consistent bandwidth for text and data applications, it enhances efficiency, supports monitoring of onboard systems, and improves crew welfare by maintaining personal communication channels across remote sea regions.
Fleet Broadband offers internet connectivity to phones and laptops on marine vessels. A portable antenna onboard the ship connects with any of the three geosynchronous satellites. The antenna will also be connected to indoor controllers, which then connect with phones and laptops for connectivity.
Yes. The Fleet Broadband system only requires a line-of-sight connection with any of the geosynchronous satellites, and this can be achieved even on rough seas. The system also uses the L-band for communication, which is more resistant to rain fade compared to other frequencies.
Fleet Broadband can be used for communication between vessels, providing internet connectivity onboard, receiving navigational data updates, and even supporting voice calls. The system can also enable continuous monitoring of onboard systems.
Besides enabling personnel communications for crew members, the system can also enable easy navigation and vessel operation and reduce the amount of maintenance for the vessel.
