Inmarsat FleetBroadband

High Speed Data on the High Seas!

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