FleetBroadband

Cost-effective, faster data

FleetBroadband is the first maritime communications service to provide cost-effective broadband data and voice, simultaneously, through a compact antenna on a global basis.

Flexible Migration

FleetBroadband takes your vessel into the IP era. But if you're not quite ready to move to IP, it still supports the core ISDN capability of our existing services. Based on 3G standards, it provides constant, simultaneous access to voice and broadband data. Operational systems can be running online and you can still access email, the internet and make phone calls - all via a single terminal.

Capabilities

Standard IP
Up to 432kbps over a shared channel, for email, internet and intranet access.

Streaming IP
Guaranteed data rates on demand up to 256kbps.

Voice
Make phone calls at the same time as accessing data applications.

ISDN
