FleetBroadband provides cost-effective voice and data through a compact antenna, delivered globally via the I-4 satellite and ground network, which maintains over 99.9 per cent network availability. The reliability of the L-band service means it can provide unlimited back-up to our high-speed Fleet Xpress service, ensuring seamless global mobility. Thousands of vessels of all sizes and in all maritime sectors trust in FleetBroadband for operational communications such as email, phone and applications that help them do everything from plotting the most fuel-efficient route to diagnosing mechanical faults remotely by video link. It boosts morale onboard by enabling crew to stay in touch with family and friends, use social media, and watch news and entertainment. Crucially, FleetBroadband delivers safety services to non-SOLAS vessels so that in an emergency vessels can immediately get through to a Maritime Rescue and Coordination Centre (MRCC) by pressing the distress button or simply dialling 505.
The FleetBroadband offers customers a wide range of benefits including:
- Standard IP data – Always-on data service for applications such as email and internet access, real-time electronic charts and weather reporting.
- Streaming IP – Guaranteed rates for live applications like video conferencing and database synchronisation (FB250 and FB500 only).
