[SatNews] MSS and KU-band VSAT come together…
Vizada has launched a range of highly flexible global maritime broadband packages that seamlessly integrates Ku-band VSAT and mobile satellite services (MSS), including the newly-launched Vizada XChange™. The Vizada global maritime broadband packages provide unmatched choice to shipping companies: they can select the combination of VSAT, MSS hardware and airtime best suited to their needs while being able to upgrade to a higher bandwidth plan or next generation satellite service during or after contract termination. The packages range from unlimited 256kbps VSAT airtime-only up to an unlimited 1024kbps VSAT plus MSS airtime and hardware back-up. Customers may selected between a VSAT antenna from Thrane & Thrane, Vizada’s preferred partner, as well as Intellian or Sea Tel, with the Iridium OpenPort or Inmarsat FleetBroadband 250 and 500 as back up. Packages are further enhanced with the newly launched Vizada XChange service, seamlessly integrating VSAT, MSS voice and broadband data in one unified global maritime communications network and providing full access to Vizada Solutions™, such as the SkyFile messaging and security suite and Prepaid solutions, hosted via the Vizada teleports. Users experience the same high quality Vizada Solutions across any service combination.
In order to meet timeframes that suit shipping companies’ needs, Vizada offers highly flexible contractual terms, starting from 12 month commitments. 36 month contracts include vessel lay-up and bandwidth upgrade options while allowing for the best migration path to next generation Ku- or Ka-band service. The coverage of Vizada’s Pharostar VSAT service will be extended in the Indian and Southern Atlantic Oceans in 2011 and 2012 enabling shipping companies to benefit from global Ku-band connectivity. In this way Pharostar connectivity is available on the main shipping routes from Asia to South Africa, overcoming what is considered the main gap in global VSAT coverage. Available via Vizada’s global network of certified service providers, the new global maritime broadband package offers shipping companies the right level of choice flexibly today and in the future.
