Thales VesseLINK supplies worldwide satellite coverage to facilitate effective and efficient maritime communications. Boasting uninterrupted coverage across the entire globe, their 700 system is the perfect communications solution for fleets or ships of all sizes for fully digitised vessels.
Operated via Iridium Certus broadband services using an expansive network of over 60 satellites to cover 100% of the planet's surface including poles and deep oceans, VesseLINK 700 uses this robust and highly reliable network service in order to supply essential web, text and voice mobile communications for crew and captain alike.
What Are The Benefits Of The VesseLINK 700?
The VesseLINK 700 boasts a user-friendly and intuitive interface that is quick and easy to get to grips with. It can also be integrated rapidly into either new fleets or existing vessels for extra convenience. Thanks to its inbuilt upgradeability, it allows users to futureproof their investment in communications while ensuring optimal performance and peak speed.
The 700 is lightweight and robust, making it the perfect choice for all at-sea operations. Capable of streaming 256 kbPS, and offering low latency for all critical voice and data communications, this model can support as many as three concurrent Wi-Fi devices for extra flexibility and functionality.
Measuring only 2.3” in height, 12” in width, and 9” in depth, and weighing just 7.5 lbs, it is the ideal compact solution for vessels of all types and sizes. Functioning at operating temperatures of between -40 to +55° C, it is suitable for use in a broad spectrum of environments for even greater versatility of use.
Furthermore, this model meets IEC 60945 standards for mechanical vibration and shock and is protected against salt and fog, corrosion, spray and rain thanks to its conformation to the same IEC standard. This ensures that users will enjoy a long lifespan from their purchase and can have the peace of mind that comes with knowing they have purchased a reliable and durable communication system that will keep them safe and secure while out at sea.
What Are The Potential Uses For The VesseLINK 700?
Thanks to the electronic phased, high gain array antenna which has no moving components, the VesseLINK 700 enables the speediest download and upload speeds to cover all vessel communication needs from location and tracking services, and safety services, to out-of-band management, data transfers, and operational reporting.
This means that it is an ideal choice of device for all kinds of fleets and vessel types, and for a wide variety of purposes. It isn't too surprising, bearing all of this in mind, that over 30 world-class skippers worldwide now rely on Thales VesseLINK to give them the high-quality connectivity technology they need when piloting vessels in open sea and extreme environments.
