Marine Internet Antenna Systems and Maritime Broadband Satellite Service

Marine Internet Antenna Systems and Maritime Broadband Satellite Services provide always on connectivity for ships, yachts, sailboats, commercial vessels, oil platforms and fishing boats while underway at sea or stationary at a mooring.  Marine VSAT systems deliver broadband satellite internet service that can be used to check emails, watch television, upload and download large files, make VOIP phone calls and monitor the vessels location.   Typical marine satellite antenna sizes are .60, .80, 1.0, 1.2, 1.8 and 2.4 meters.  The components of a marine satcom system include the stabilized antenna platform with radome, block upconverter and satellite modem.  Marine satellite systems typically utilize the Ku frequency band.  Some popular marine satellite antennas include:

Intellian

KNS Supertrack

KVH

Sea-Tel

The latest and greatest offerings of Marine Internet Service provide broadband internet access with speeds up to 10 Mbps and beyond depending on your antenna and BUC size.  The most common service package is generally 2 Mbps downlink and 512 Kbps uplink.  This service can be delivered by using a 1.0 meter marine satellite antenna.     Over the last few years, marine internet has become faster, more reliable and less costly due to upgraded electronics and advancements in antenna technology.
