Features of VSAT
sBrings land-based broadband communications environment to onboard vessels
Selectable communication rates for its data communications according to various needs onboard:
sService providing best effort delivery of up to 4 Mbps down-link (up-link up to 1 Mbps)
sFixed flat rate according to the selected bandwidth
sA wide variety of applications available for both operational and social purposes
VPN networking, Internet (web browsing, e-mailing), VoIP, Video Store and Forward, high quality live video transmission,
two-way videoconferencing, onboard monitoring, chart updates, remote ship management system, etc.
sAllows for unlimited, connection through flat communication rate, depending solely on bandwidth
You will no longer need to worry about the communication bill, for no matter how extensive your broadband connection is
utilized, the communication costs remain the same.
Bring cost-effective and high-speed broadband
communications to your vessel with FURUNO’s VSAT
sGlobal coverage consisting of constellation of regional coverage areas provided by multiple service
providers (roaming possible without any roaming surcharges)*
*See the map below for details
FURUNO brings a Ku-band VSAT communications solution to the maritime industry to meet the growing demand for more bandwidth
at sea. VSAT provides broadband communications at sea that are comparable to the communication speeds they are accustomed to
using while on shore. On top of fast communication speed for data and voice applications of up to 4 Mbps, VSAT delivers the
Ku-band GEO Satellite system
cost-effective means to maritime broadband communications through its monthly fixed flat communication rate, allowing ship owners
to budget air-time rate without any unanticipated fare to be charged. The ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system at the head
office can be extended to the vessels via VPN (Virtual Private Networks). This means that the officers and crewmembers are now
able to make use of more bandwidth-hungry applications such as videoconferencing and downloading, streaming video on demand
and others without worrying about the communication bill thanks to the flat communication rate.

This will totally transform maritime communication, with increasing levels of both operational and social communications conducted
all at the same time through this new service. Navigators can now obtain weather and chart updates* online in order to optimize their
route planning and monitoring tasks, while all onboard can still enjoy the benefit of the Internet, e-mailing and making voice calls to
the head offices or their friends and families back home all via a single terminal. It would greatly increase information efficiency
onboard. It will change the way mariners and vessels communicate, just as on-shore broadband data communications paved the
way for the broadband IP era.

Network redundancy means that the network topology has been constructed in a way that allows for automatic or rapid recovery
of service if a network component fails. Thus, if the primary connection within the system goes down, the secondary connection
will pick up the traffic to deliver constant network availability.

Always on Connection
When network connection of VSAT is lost, the connection
will automatically switch to FleetBroadband. Subsequently,
the network may stay connected to FleetBroadband even
after VSAT connection is restored, resulting in a bloated
communications bill. Therefore, it is strongly advised that
the network is built in such a way that affirmation of
reconnection to FleetBroadband is notified to a radio
operator prior to switch-over.
