FleetBroadband
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.
