KU-BAND SEMI GLOBAL
Description / Advantages
Ku-Band Semi-Global VSAT systems are high-capacity maritime VSAT solutions that go beyond regional beams to cover wide geographical areas, major maritime trade routes, and continental crossings, while targeting specific main backbone regions rather than a True Global coverage area. They generally provide continuous, high-bandwidth internet and data flow to vessels by optimizing the extended Ku-band coverage maps of multiple satellite providers and seamless beam switching.
Cost / Performance Balance: Offers a much more economical solution compared to True Global systems, while providing a significantly broader operational area than regional narrow coverages.
High Data Volume (Bandwidth): Thanks to the Ku-band frequency spectrum, it provides vessels with high download and upload speeds, easily meeting corporate VPN needs, operational data transfers, and crew internet requirements.
Extended Route Flexibility: Minimizes the risk of going out of coverage while vessels navigate between major ocean crossings and regional seas frequently used in maritime routes.
Hardware Compatibility: Operates with high compatibility alongside many standard Ku-band antennas, modems, and RF components available in the market.
