The Thrane & Thrane Capsat Fleet77 Series Global Maritime Connectivity Via Inmarsat Fleet F77 is a global communications system that adapts to your changing needs for voice, fax, e-mail or Internet services. Capsat Fleet77 enables you to select the most cost-effective channel for each individual communication.

ISDN services provide a high-capacity channel with a constant data stream at speeds as fast as up-to 64 Kbps. ISDN is normally the best option for up- or down-loading larger files such as compressed video or graphics. This traffic is charged by the length of time the user is online.

The MPDS service is charged "per megabit". This means that you are charged only for the amount of data sent and received, not for the time you are connected.

Designed for short-burst data transmissions, MPDS is perfect for sending and receiving e-mail, browsing the Internet or accessing the company intranet, applications and database queries. Together with the Capsat Fleet77, MPDS transforms a remote vessel into just another node on your worldwide network, bringing it within instant reach 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Inmarsat satellite communications and data solutions are designed to meet the specific needs of the maritime industry. The new Inmarsat Fleet F77 service equips mariners with a powerful and versatile communications tool with global coverage.

Inmarsat Fleet F77 meets the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) latest criteria for new services within the GMDSS safety standard. Fleet F77 supports accreditation of vessels' systems and enables high priority distress, urgency and safety calls to override any lower priority communications through 4-level voice pre-emption and prioritization.

Fleet managers, ships' captains, and yacht owners need constant and reliable access to up-to-the minute information critical to the safety and operation of their vessels, and to their business. The Capsat Fleet77 maritime satellite communications system from Thrane & Thrane meets these needs via the new Inmarsat global Fleet F77 service, a breakthrough in maritime communications.

The Inmarsat Fleet F77 service combines the high quality and speed of an up-to 64 Kbps mobile ISDN service with the flexibility and "always on-line" capability of the Inmarsat Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS). Together Capsat Fleet77 and Inmarsat Fleet77 provides unparalleled real time access to information, through the flexible services supported by Inmarsat Fleet F77.

Capsat Fleet77 offers a fully stabilized antenna with a transceiver that can serve as the hub of your shipboard communications network. This enables constant online access at multiple onboard locations to e-mail services, the Internet, corporate intranets, and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) from virtually anywhere in the world.
