FleetBroadband enables situational awareness and command and control to the lowest tactical levels. It allows for high-speed IP connectivity while still supporting core voice and integrated services for digital network (ISDNs) data capability and provides constant, simultaneous cost-effective access to voice and data at sea, on a global basis.
In addition to constant real-time weather and electronic chart display and information system updates, FleetBroadband supports complex applications with confidence. Simultaneous voice and data capability means that operational systems can run online and users can still access emails and Intranet, and make voice calls at sea – all via a single terminal.
FleetBroadband is accessible through a wide range of terminals. Regardless of the type or size of vessel, we offer a compact solution to suit your requirements for optimal connectivity – no matter what your position or what sea conditions surround you.
FleetBroadband’s high performance and flexibility is the affordable option for seafaring missions. Terminal costs are low and we provide a variety of airtime pricing package options to match the service experience precisely to operational needs.
FleetBroadband supports the latest IP services, as well as circuit-switched voice and data for existing legacy applications. Government users can choose between a standard, contended IP service and guaranteed data rate on demand – with the ability to select the rate according to their application.
Through Assured Access, users receive a guaranteed data rate within a defined geographic region that can be shared with more than one terminal. Our Assured Access lease arrangement gives a predefined group of mobile users or SIMs priority access and a guaranteed connectivity to the FleetBroadband service and network resources for a known price and on an uncontended access plan. In addition, Assured Access provides a highly reliable secure communications link to support a range of applications at sea.
