Inmarsat’s maritime satellite connectivity is relied upon by governments around the world for operational communications and safety services at sea. With thousands of vessels choosing Inmarsat for global, secure, simultaneous voice and data solutions, we connect ship-to-shore regardless of position or conditions at sea.
FleetBroadband is our flagship seamless voice and robust, high-speed data service that provides cost-effective operational and crew communications, real-time weather updates, port information, email and internet access, and video conferencing.
Maritime crews must be ready to deploy to any blue or brown waters anywhere on the globe at a moment’s notice. To conduct their missions, they depend upon satellite availability and consistent satellite performance that is unaffected by weather or geographic changes. FleetBroadband provides naval crews with access to voice, data and video services allowing them to seamlessly communicate for C4ISR purposes at any longitude or latitude.
Navies, coastguards and scientific research fleets around the world trust FleetBroadband to deliver communication certainty. Thanks to our 99.9 % network and service reliability, its performance can be depended upon whatever the vessel’s position or the conditions at sea.
