Upgrade FleetBroadband
FleetBroadband is Inmarsat's service to take vessels into the IP era. It has a number of advantages over Fleet including faster data speeds, lower usage costs and simultaneous voice and data usage.
However, even FleetBroadband can be significantly enhanced by Wired Ocean's service:
- The maximum shore to ship data speed is 20% faster than FB500 and almost twice as fast as FB250.
- Prices for shore to ship data are only about 10% of FleetBroadband, so ships can greatly expand data usage for a given communications budget.
- Fixed price plans improve budgeting and relieve the concerns that large downloads or unexpected software upgrades will lead to unacceptable costs.
- Wired Ocean's S-Box works in conjunction with the network operations hub. Using state of the art data optimisation, latency (processing lag or time delay) is minimised, unnecessary handshaking is removed and transferred data is compressed and cached. This results in even faster service and lower billable data volume.
- Buying an FB250 and a Wired Ocean S-Box is less expensive than an FB500 but with better performance for many applications. Or better still Wired Ocean's S-Box Plus Service plans require no upfront capital expenditure on the S-Box.
