The risk of cyber-attacks continues to rise in line with growing digitalisation, the responses from professionals indicate that further work is needed to improve awareness about the most effective security solutions
onboard cinema and social media, as well as office applications. Superyachts fitted with NX Series antennas are ready to take advantage of these networks from day one.
Another aspect of the NX Series which facilitates seamlessness, especially for LEO/ MEO networks, is the built-in mediator in the Below Deck Unit (BDU). The mediator enables automatic management of dual antennas, so that as one satellite heads below the horizon, the second has already picked up a new one, allowing an uninterrupted switch. Use of dual antennas also guards against blockage by vessel infrastructure, as one antenna will always have a clear view of a satellite.
Bandwidth demand is increasing, regardless of the user group, and with much of the world’s business – both social and economic – moving online, connectivity has shifted from being a luxury to a necessity. Intellian expect the upcoming LEO and MEO networks to bring rapid growth in maritime satellite communications, and we’re ready for it.
Global, mobile satellite communications provider Inmarsat Maritime is the only satellite operator to operate in both L-band and Ka-band. As such, it is able to guarantee service levels globally by owning and managing the whole network from end to end, with 100 per cent control over cyber security. This end to end solution is key to deliver safe and secure connections, and this is what owners want.
Telemar Yachting Americas is now part of the Marlink Group a true giant in the global field of SatComs. David Gratton, the Business Development Manager, is based in the company offices in Fort Lauderdale. A spin off from Telemar, whose headquarters are in Viareggio, Italy, it has been in business for 70 years. David says, “The company are global specialists in service, supply, and installation of navigation, communication, automation, integrated bridge/glass bridge systems. They are also an official Accounting Authority (IU03) and provider of managed communications solutions for VSAT, Inmarsat (Sat C, Fleet, etc.), Iridium, Terrestrial, etc. Other services: Radio Surveys, Gyro maintenance, shore- based maintenance contracts, LRIT testing, BNWAS.”
Fleet Xpress Inmarsat’s Fleet Xpress high-speed internet service continues to grow rapidly and is now installed on almost 10,000 vessels. Mark Warner, the Marketing and PR Director at Inmarsat says, “It stands out because it is a service and a complete solution, not just a bandwidth. Delivering high data speeds via Inmarsat’s Global Xpress (GX) Ka-band service, combined with the proven reliability of Inmarsat’s FleetBroadband (FB) L-band service, it is designed for global maritime coverage, with future-looking capabilities.”

broadband for internet access, plus 24/7 online support by certified
engineers.
Owners and operators can take advantage of a range of other factors including controlled costs, flexible subscriptions, unparalleled global coverage, unlimited FB back-up, lightweight and compact antennas, and multi-layered security.
Ensuring continuous connectivity, the GX service is delivered via Ka spot beams, with more than 72 beams per GX satellite and 50 Mbps per beam. Designed to be global with consistent spot beam configuration and automatic make before break handover, the narrow and sharp spot beams have a uniform signal across each beam, so vessels get the same signal everywhere.
This means FX antennas can be compact and lightweight, enabling significant antenna load reductions. This advantage was highlighted
