FleetBroadband
Inmarsat’s FleetBroadband (FB) service is a global high speed voice and data maritime service offering all the connectivity of an office but available via a small, easy-to-use device with a compact antenna. Users have a choice of FB hardware, delivering up to 432kbps IP.
FB provides simultaneous voice and data connections and is able to support legacy services too. In effect, it provides the vessel with a fully functioning office, allowing access to email, internet, telephone calls, fax - in fact all the things that can be achieved from a normal office set-up.
Global coverage is provided by three satellites and the service is identical everywhere in the world, regardless of location. There is no longer a need to select earth stations - FB is all automated, requiring little or no user intervention once configured.
Seamless Connectivity
Increasing commercial demands on ship operations mean that enhanced connectivity is essential - regardless of the vessel’s position. The need to perform a host of actions, from updating weather information, route-planning and ordering supplies, to maintaining crew morale whilst keeping a tight control on costs is possible with FleetBroadband. This next generation service from Inmarsat takes your vessel into the IP era whilst still supporting ISDN data capability.
