​​MINIATURIZED MARINE USAT

TECHNOLOGY MAKING MARITIME COMMUNICATIONS COMPACT & AFFORDABLE
Marine VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) is the perfect solution for broadband IP maritime satellite communications at sea, because of the high data rates achievable at a reasonable airtime cost. However, until now, the size, weight and cost of the on-board stabilised VSAT equipment have limited their use to only the largest of vessels and communications budgets. 

​The 0.6m Ku-Band Marine USAT (Ultra Small Aperture Terminal) breaks this traditional size and cost barrier, so that many more people can benefit from the combination of low airtime costs plus low equipment costs.

PROVEN PRODUCT - THOUSANDS OF VESSELS INSTALLED

The modem (with in-built antenna control function) and antenna were designed together to work as a tightly integrated terminal solution. This unique approach provides excellent stabilized antenna tracking performance. The data interface is an IP router for simple and standard integration with Internet applications and backhaul infrastructure. The integrated antenna controller / modem / router provides a graphical web-based user interface for easy of configuration, installation and monitoring.
"You guys have created a really amazing terminal. The antenna tracking is awesome" - Marcio Esteves, CEO Mareste Equipamentos e Serviços de Telecomunicação Ltda  
The terminal employs our patented air interface and allows integration with the THISS' web-based NMS and DAMA systems for the provision of fit-for-purpose Internet and private IP networks. 

We have extensive experience on special projects & custom products utilising ultra small C-Band and even smaller Ku-Band terminals. If you have a special project or customisation requirement, please contact us to discuss it further. 

KEy Benefits & Applications

Price: We worked very hard to engineer a quality solution which was affordable with a combination of clever modem technology, compact design and integration 
Mobile Performance: Proven antenna tracking performance even in the presence of adjacent satellite interference, at high elevation angles, even down to a negative RX C/N. This is achieved by embedding in the antenna controller inside modem - creating an integrated terminal solution that really works. 
Integrated Solution:   Because the modem (with in-built antenna controller) and antenna were designed together to work as a tightly integrated terminal solution, our system is easy to install and reliable. All software, configuration and statistics for the terminal (modem and antenna) can be managed via the THISS hub and NMS
Vessel Tracking: built in GPS can transfer the vessel position to a secure web- based NMS for real-time tracking or fleet management
Email and Social Messaging: An essential part of modern telecommunications, whether for crew welfare or shipboard operations 
VoIP Telephony: Voice over IP using various qualities of voice codecs depending on requirements, or for cellular extension 
Internet Browsing: tap into the World Wide Web for real-time information on anything and everything
