Ku-band VSAT

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 FURUNOs VSAT
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 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 delivers the best possible solution available for maritime broadband communications
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.

By networking a VSAT terminal and a FleetBroadband terminal through a network gateway (supplied locally), fully automated selection of the best possible communications link based on availability and cost can be facilitated. Both VSAT and FleetBroadband have its strengths and limitations:

System Overview of VSAT

Expected availability

With network redundancy utilizing both systems, the systems will complement each other to deliver the best possible solution available. Setting VSAT as the primary connection option and FleetBroadband as the secondary, for example, the vessels can benefit from

fast network connection of 1-4 Mbps by default with a fixed flat rate. If VSAT connection is out due to bad weather or the vessel is out of VSAT coverage, FleetBroadband will take over the connection to facilitate continued network connection.

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.

User applications of VSAT

VSAT supports an extensive range of user applications, which can be conducted all at the same time through a single terminal.

Social communication and increased welfare for crewmembers

Crewmembers are now able to make private phone calls or send SMS using their SIM card to their friends and families back home. They can also browse the web to read news from home, football results or any other news of their interests.

Real-time chart and weather information update for route optimization*

Navigators can now update chart as well as weather information in real-time by which the optimal, fuel-efficient routes can be plotted from port to port based upon the up-to-the-minute chart and weather information.

Educational opportunities for crewmembers using distance learning

Using their off-duty time in a more productive manner has become very popular amongst navigators. VSAT allows crewmembers to attend off-campus distance learning courses through IP applications such as videoconferencing or IP-TV to further enhance their skills and academic levels while off-duty.

Briefing with the head office, port authorities and others

Chief officers can conduct briefing with the head offices, port authorities and ship chandlers by using VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) and web mail for various occasions. Alternatively, they can make use of two-way live video streaming to facilitate videoconferencing if needed.

Trouble-shooting in case of equipment failure

In case of failure of engine or other onboard equipment, chief engineers onboard can set up live, on-the-spot remote condition-review and trouble-shooting sessions with service engineers from various manufacturers onshore by using two-way live video streaming. A reliable high bandwidth connection is essential for enabling these functions, and VSAT provides a perfect solution.
