Not so long ago out-to-sea communication was impossible. Now, sailors can travel far and wide without ever feeling disconnected from the rest of the world. Having grown accustomed to a 24/7 connection at home, ocean-bound customers can receive a similar type of coverage across the seas.
With Fleet One, smaller fishing, merchant and leisure vessels can rely on voice and data connectivity. The Fleet One service is designed to meet the lower usage data needs of those who may only require occasional or seasonal service.
Satmodo provides various global and coastal service plans for our maritime customers. Without a vessel size limit, we can work with each individual or company to get them the perfect amount of coverage they require for their Sailor Fleet One device.
Without satellite coverage, vessel operators are left with only one other option. That’s to use their regular mobile phone. You might be wondering why this isn’t a good choice. Here’s what to expect if you rely on only your mobile phone for coastal and out-to-sea communication:
The bottom line is that your maritime communication via mobile phone is unreliable at best and completely useless at worst. With the Fleet One service, those traveling by sea can expect:
One of the most important aspects of utilizing the Fleet One service from Inmarsat is the peace of mind it provides. Customers cite “safety” as one of the number one reasons to have the Fleet One aboard their vessel.
The Sailor Fleet One terminal by Cobham makes maritime satellite communication possible. Ideal for leisure boats, its small and lightweight design make it easy to install in any space. Phone service, text messaging, WiFi capability, and Internet access are all possible even in remote sea locations. It even has 505 Emergency calling.
It’s easy to take for granted the communication capabilities we utilize day-to-day at home or in the office. This kind of connectivity has quickly become something we can’t live without, and the Sailor Fleet One allows vessel users to bring the comforts from home to their boat.
Satmodo is an Inmarsat partner offering two main service plans to make satellite broadband communication possible for all sizes of vessels on any budget.
Fleet One Global is a flexible option for a vessel of any size. With one global rate, users can travel anywhere at any time. There is never a worry of paying more while traveling in certain areas. Both prepaid and postpaid options are available.
All of the global coverage options can be de-activated and re-activated at any time making it a great choice for both seasonal and regular use.
Satmodo offers four monthly global service plans as well as six prepaid plans. With ten different options that all provide low airtime rates and require no commitment, global coverage is the connectivity you can rely upon as you sail the world’s seas.
Fleet One Coastal is the best choice for recreational sailors and small regional fishing boat operators who only need occasional satellite service. It’s designed for times when these users travel beyond cellular range and need seamless voice and data capabilities. Smaller vessels (under 500 gross tonnages) have the option to utilize the Fleet One Coastal service.
With the coastal service, all land and key coastal areas can connect with both voice and data, whereas out-to-sea communication is limited to voice only. This is an important factor to consider when deciding between the global and coastal options.
For the coastal coverage service, Satmodo offers 11 different options. For those looking to pay monthly, there are 5 separate options to meet the needs of any user. The prepaid options allow near-shore vessel operators to pay for data ahead of time in order to use only what they need. This type of flexible pricing allows all Fleet One users to get the coverage they need for seamless on-boat communication.
