  1. Do’s and Don’ts of Installing of Maritime Satellite Internet System on Vessel Marine communications have become important than ever. Marine vessel owners must choose maritime satellite Internet solutions that deliver high-speed, reliable, and highly predictable connections. The following are the critical points that you must consider when selecting equipment and preparing your vessel for the installation. #1 Find a professional satellite internet provider If you are looking to install a satellite Internet solution, firstly locate a professional and authentic satellite Internet service provider in your region/country. The longer the company has experience in the field of maritime satellite communication services, the higher the service quality will be. Do make sure your service provider has wide connected network in your region before subscribing to their service package. #2 Choose bandwidth terminal carefully Which solution to choose depends on your budget and Internet usage on your vessel. There are four popular frequency bands including L-band, C-band, Ku-band and Ka-band. L-band is a low frequency band, requiring less sophisticated and less expensive RF equipment. C-band is significantly more expensive with large bandwidth requirement while the capacity is cheaper. Ka-band provides increased spectrum and enables greater volumes of traffic to be transmitted. Ku-band requires smaller antennas and less expensive equipment while the capacity price is higher. However, if you want full service internet access at sea with unlimited web browsing, email and telephone, you can buy 1 meter Ku-Band VSAT, and pay a fixed price for virtually unlimited usage. #3 Select antenna size carefully Choose from a range of antenna sizes to suit your vessel needs. Generally, as a thumb of rule: the smaller the antenna the better the coverage. For instance, you can select the FB150, FB250 or FB500 terminals of FleetBroadband provided by Inmarsat for cost-effective connectivity on marine vessel. The length of the antenna cable to the docking system or PC also plays an important role in getting better signals. Keep in mind – the shorter the cable run the better! A qualified maritime satellite equipment provider will provide you the correct cable and connector combination for your system. Conclusion The demand for maritime communication services and bandwidth is constantly growing. With the arrival of new providers and new satellite constellations, the maritime industry, shipping companies and mariners have to consider various factors before taking maritime satellite Internet services. To fully leverage the power of modern maritime satellite communication network, it is essential you take the aforesaid factors into consideration while preparing your marine vessel for maritime VSAT services.
