FleetBroadband supports the latest IP services, as well as traditional circuit-switched voice and data for your legacy applications.  You can choose between a standard, contended IP service and guaranteed data rates on demand - with the ability to select the rate according to your application.  Two types of terminal are available, which offer different capabilities via standard hardware.

Inmarsat provide the toughest communications links in the business, with average network availabilty exceeding 99.99%.  FleetBroadband terminals are designed specifically for use within the marine environment. 

Following the successful launch of the third Inmarsat-4 satellite in 2008, FleetBroadband will be available globally, excepting the extreme polar regions.  At service launch, it will be available in the Indian and Atlantic ocean regions.

FleetBroadband gives you faster, more cost effective access to data services.  Besides constant real-time, weather and ECDIS updates, you can use more complex applications with confidence.  Its simultaneous voice and data capabilty means that operational systems can be running online and you can still access email, your intranet and make voice calls - all via a single terminal.  So the Captain can get on with managing the ship, while the crew are calling or emailing home.

Life at sea mirrors more and more the everyday life ashore when it comes to communication.  Seafarers are highly skilled professionals who expect to be able to stay in touch with friends and family.  Ships are becoming an integrated part of the office infrastructure.  The challenge was better data rates and improved connections.  With the launch of SAILOR? 500 and 250 FleetBroadband, state of the art technology is now available at affordable prices.  The increased bandwidth and full Internet access provides exciting new opportunities. 

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