Satellite communications provider, SatCom Global, has been awarded full distribution partner status by Inmarsat for its FleetBroadband services.
The appointment, as of April 15, means that SatCom Global joins a group of twelve FleetBroadband distribution partners worldwide.
Coupled with advancements within SatCom's own infrastructure, this new partnership will provide customers with more flexibility and security when using Inmarsat FleetBroadband.
Inmarsat has been developing mobile satellite services for nearly 30 years and repositioned its new I-4 satellite constellation earlier this year. FleetBroadband is the first maritime communications service to simultaneously provide cost-effective broadband data with speeds of up to 432kbps and voice through a compact antenna, regardless of the type and size of vessel.
Customers can send and receive email with large attachments, comfortably run complex data applications, and make and receive voice calls all at the same time and at the most competitive and affordable price structure yet.
There are currently two terminals available, Sailor FleetBroadband 250 and Sailor FleetBroadband 500. The models differ in performance and capability but both use a stabilised directional antenna, which can vary in size and weight according to the system requirements. All are capable of supporting standard IP, streaming IP, voice, Euro ISDN and SMS.
