NETWORK ARCHITECTURE

By using a variety of switching technologies, SeaCast broadband services can be incorporated seamless to complement and enhance the incumbent narrowband satellite services (such as Inmarsat, Iridium, etc…). This means that customers’ ships will have coverage wherever they roam on the seas, by combining Ku-band and L-band services.

Furthermore, SeaCast delivers a seamless experience, thanks to its automatic re-pointing of the marine VSAT antenna and re-initializing of the satellite modem, when the ship moves from one satellite beam to another. This is called “seamless auto beam switching”
