Reliable Ku-Band Coverage — Right Where You Need It

Intelsat’s Global Ku-band Mobility platform provides unrivaled coverage of all principal shipping routes throughout the world by utilizing six satellites with nine different beams.

Operational highlights:

• Seamless global voice, data and video services
• Automatic beam switching (ABS) allows a vessel to seamlessly transfer from one satellite to another while maintaining connectivity with continuous provisioning of the service
• Defined IP rate for downlink and uplink channels for each customer’s Individual Shipboard Terminal (SBT). (Customers are responsible for providing their own SBTs.)
• The forward channel is a high speed Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) carrier transmitted via satellite from hubs located at the Intelsat teleports
• The return channels are Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) links transmitted via satellite from SBTs
