Cost-effective, faster data
Launching in November 2007, 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
Simultaneous voice and data via the same terminal.

ISDN
Supports ISDN at 64kbps for legacy applications.

SMS text
Send and receive text messages.

Terminals
Two types of terminal will be available, with different performance capabilities and size:

FB250 
Will offer Standard IP up to 284kbps and Streaming IP up to 128kbps. Antenna 25cm in diameter.

FB500
Will offer Standard IP up to 432kbps and Streaming IP up to 256kbps. Antenna 50 cm in diameter.
Both terminals are designed specifically for the marine environment and also support voice, fax and SMS.

Coverage
Following the successful launch of the third Inmarsat-4 satellite, FleetBroadband will be available globally, except in the extreme polar regions. At service launch, it will be available in the Indian and Atlantic ocean regions.
