Iridium's network offers you many advantages at sea
Reliable communication is important to you for your adventure with your sailboat, yacht and every imaginable type of boat in the Mediterranean, Atlantic to the polar regions?
- Benefit from the global coverage provided by the satellite constellation of the Iridium network, which enables reception even in the far north and towards Antarctica.
- Certus Terminal offers various security features such as Internet filter, port blocking, blacklist, whitelist.
- The VesseLink offers for your maritime safety a connection possibility for an external alarm switch which activates an alarm and permanent tracking in case of emergency. The Thales terminal is being prepared for certification for the Global GMDSS system.
- The VesseLink is perfect as a data terminal for connecting telemedicine diagnostic equipment such as ECG and live chat with medical support. Also for transmission of telemetry data from engine, vessel data and connection to experts in case of technical problems. Additional security is provided by tracking and up to 3 parallel voice connections.
- Fast data connections currently up to 704kbps and low latency voice communication.
The Certus network is regularly expanded with new features.
VesseLINK uses Iridium Certus broadband services via a network of 66 satellites covering 100% of the world, including the oceans and the poles. The VesseLink uses this robust network service to provide highly reliable, mobile and essential voice, text and web communications.
Due to Iridium's satellite connection, you are not bound to a direct line of sight to the equator, but can also establish a network connection on the north side (northern hemisphere) of a mountain as long as the Iridium satellite is above you. This is also true in bays or fjords. This would quickly be the case in northern countries, for example, from which geostationary satellites are almost inaccessible.
The Thales VesseLink is characterized by its particular robustness and high quality workmanship of all components, for example, connectors, resistance to seawater and sea spray, mounting option on the ship, user-friendly interface and servicing. The high-quality and lightweight antenna optimized for the Iridum Certus network has no moving parts inside. The terminal and the antenna are certified according to MIL-STD -810G and IEC 60945 for the temperature range of -40C - +55C. To provide teams with Internet access, up to 12 terminals can be connected to the VesseLink via WLAN. Likewise, 3 LAN ports with PoE are available and one WAN port can be used for cellular connections.
The VesseLink can be operated with 12 volts DC.
