FleetBroadband ... an alternative to VSAT?

Committed to communications at sea, Inmarsat is committed to maritime communications.  It invests billions in its satellite networks and ground stations.  Maritime has always been at the heart of Inmarsat and no other company is more experienced in delivering maritime satellite connectivity.

With times changing, broadband has had to change too.  In partnership with Inmarsat, a world leader in maritime communications, e3 is introducing FleetBroadband (FB) Service for Yachts.

‘FB for Yachts’ takes a completely new look at FleetBroadband and delivers major service enhancements designed exclusively for yacht owners – while retaining the award winning features of the world’s most popular and successful maritime mobile satellite service.

FleetBroadband Service for Yachts is faster. It’s comparable to VSAT but without its vulnerabilities.  And, as FleetBroadband is tested every day in the roughest seas and toughest weather, yacht owners can be assured that ‘FB for Yachts’ will be reliable and robust, whatever the conditions!

‘FB for Yachts’ benefits from low cost equipment with easy to install antennas and terminals – and as many yachts already have FleetBroadband terminals on-board, switching to ‘FB for Yachts’ is easy

‘FB for Yachts’ is the first step to Global Xpress (GX); the revolutionary service planned for global availability from the end of 2014.  With up to 50Mb broadband, GX can be used alongside ‘FB for Yachts’.
