More choice today! With Vizada's range of flexible mobile broadband packages.

Vizada, the leading independent provider of global satellite-based mobility services, is pleased to announce the launch of its new range of global maritime broadband packages seamlessly integrating Ku-band VSAT and MSS airtime service and hardware, to offer the best value for money and choice in terms of maritime broadband satellite communications currently available in the market.

From a 256 Kbps VSAT airtime only package (starting from $1,500/month for 12 months) up to 1 Mbps VSAT plus MSS airtime and hardware back-up package (below $2,750/month), maritime customers can select the combination of service and equipment best fitting their communications needs while getting the flexibility to upgrade to a higher bandwidth plan or next generation satellite service during or after the contract terminates.

Out of the large range of packages, the $2,500 broadband package is recommended to fit most demanding communications needs of merchant vessels with regard to crew and business communications:

Unlimited 256/128 Kbps Ku-band connectivity with Pharostar™ incl. a choice of Ku-band antenna, such as Sea Tel, Intellian and the upcoming Thrane & Thrane Sailor 900.
Global coverage, with extended Ku-band coverage in Indian and Atlantic South expected in 2011 and 2012.
Vizada XChange™ Service plus professional Vizada Solutions™ pack (i.e. SkyFile Mail, SkyFile Anti Virus, Prepaid Solutions and more).
Choice of MSS hardware and airtime for back-up: Iridium Open Port or Inmarsat FleetBroadband.
3 year contract with vessel lay-up and bandwidth upgrade options.
Possibility to migrate to next generation Ku- or Ka- band services when available.

Seamlessly integrating VSAT, MSS voice and broadband data into one unified global maritime communications network, Vizada XChange™ provides a fully-managed service platform offering a set of unrivalled solutions for maritime customers to interconnect onboard IT with the corporate network on shore:
