Constant Reach and Access The Capsat� Fleet77 terminal means that LANs (local area networks) and VPNs (virtual private networks) take on a whole new meaning, encompassing the globe every minute of every day. MPDS enables LANs and VPNs to offer ships at sea constant access to knowledge bases, filing systems, notice boards, communication media, and even e-commerce. Position reporting, electronic charts, weather reports, maintenance schedules and automatic equipment, and machinery surveillance reports can now be transmitted and received as if the ship was in the office next door. The Capsat� Fleet77 terminal also enables direct ISDN connection, for example for transmission of larger documents and files.Save Time and Money with MPDS MPDS is a digital communication technology that packages data in a manner that enables it to be sent in discrete packets through channels shared by other users. Individual users are charged only for the amount of data they actually send, not for the time the channel remains open. This means that they can stay online all the time while significantly reducing the costs of actual transmissions.Rapid Configuration The Capsat� Fleet77 transceiver provides a constant two-way link to Inmarsat satellites offering Inmarsat Fleet MPDS communication.
Simple Installation With its lightweight and compact transceiver and antenna, the Capsat� Fleet77 terminal is quick and easy to install. The tracking antenna is 85 cm high, has a diameter of just 84 cm and weighs a mere 25 kg/55 lbs. The antenna is line-replaceable, features a bottom flap for easy maintenance access, and can be located up to 70 metres from the transceiver. Shipboard Communication Hub The Capsat� Fleet77 transceiver and antenna provide the hub for online communication all the time via desktop phones, payphones, DECT phones, and fax machines. Together with an IP router, the Capsat� Fleet77 terminal can integrate the vessel 24 hours a day with onshore management systems via the Web, including full e-mail and Internet services from all shipboard PC workstations.
