IP antennas - Inmarsat R-BGAN, BGAN and Thuraya DSL Antennas

All the antennas listed in this sections can also be used as Satellite TV antennas, for watching satellite TV or terrestrial TV by requesting the model with dual option: TV and IP.

INTERNET: Accessing Internet is already a reality. The satellite certainly represents the ideal means for communicating through Internet, the only system able to fully take advantage of features and potential of this extraordinary global information instrument. You can now download images and data at a speed of over 2MBps. In addition to the PC, you need an Internet card that transforms your PC into a digital TV Sat so it can also receive all of the satellite’s television programmes.

Inmarsat R-BGAN/BGAN and Thuraya DSL: the antenna can also be connected with the R-BGAN (144K) / BGAN (up to 456K) or Thuraya DSL (144K) satellite modems. The speed is valid for UPLINK and DOWNLINK.

The use of a fully stabilized maritime antenna opens great opportunities for the mariners that want high speed, but do not want to install expensive solutions.

The combined use of a R-BGAN/BGAN Inmarsat or/Thuraya DSL satellite modems and of antenna allows connections of up to 432/456K (144k for RBGAN) in the huge area covered by the new Inmarsat I-4 satellites or in the regional area covered by Thuraya (144K).

BGAN speeds may change depending on the modem that is used.

R-BGAN offers twice as much bandwidth as compared to Fleet 77, and also allows a good opportunity for VoIP solutions.

BGAN offers a speed that is about 1000% faster than Fleet, and the cost of airtime is cheaper.

Visit the page of the antenna that better meets the requirements of your boat/ship, to learn the technical features and characteristics.

All the antennas can be equipped with the IP option, R-BGAN, BGAN or Thuraya DSL.

Important: on all steel-made ships/boats/yachts it is necessary to interface the antenna with onboard gyro-compass with a NMEA 183 (HDT): when purchasing the antenna, this info MUST be advised.
