Marine Satellite Broadband

Marine Satellite Broadband

We have worked closely with a number of manufacturers to produce a range of solutions which provide global high speed Internet, television and voice services via satellite to mobile users at sea. Agile Networks are a preferred supplier of KVH equipment, meaning we can offer the latest equipment within the marketplace

The latest innovation when it comes to broadband at sea is mini VSAT. This relatively new technology allows vessels to be connected much more reliably and can provide very high speeds when compared with some older technology. On top of this, mini VSAT is extremely cost effective and has fixed monthly unlimited cost options. This enables customers to plan and forecast their budgets for specific projects which is proving very popular.

We carry out our own installation services around the world and can assist with the challenges of importing the satellite equipment into various countries. Our engineers are all fully trained and certified with manufacturers and carry a wealth of knowledge when installing satellite equipment across different sectors and environments. 

Our engineering division can design, create and install bespoke pedestal mounting solutions to allow the system to cope with the most challenging of environments.

Key Features of mini VSAT:

 

• Small antenna footprint which reduces installation costs and complexity.
• Connection speeds of up to 4Mb (Shore – Ship) and 512k (Ship – Shore).
• Fixed IP addresses available to allow the vessel to be incorporated into the corporate network.
• The technology includes Voice over IP (VOIP) technology to provide a global telecoms solution.
• Flexible data packages based on either fixed monthly cost for unlimited data, pay as you go options or very flexible seasonal packages where breaks in the annual contract can be taken depending on project requirements.
• Dynamic gyro-stabilised tracking of satellites for outstanding performance and reliability.
• Extensive global coverage.
• Crew calling system bolt on to allow crew to make calls by purchasing crew calling cards.
• Worldwide support packages available which can warranty the equipment up to 5 years.
• Remote technical support for the equipment is available when the vessel is located close to shore.
• Flexible leasing models to include capital expenditure and monthly costs.
• Direct end user billing or reseller arrangements.
• Cold spare storage facilities available to provide fast support turn around.

 

Key Benefits of mini VSAT:

Much lower owenership costs due to reduced data costs when compared with VSAT or Fleet Broadband etc. Capital expenditure costs are also available at very affordable prices.

Improved crew morale and retention rates due to quality of the facilities on board.
