HAMBURG, Germany– Cobham SATCOM and Seasat A/S have extended their partnership to create a complete VSAT system for Maersk Supply Services. Cobham SATCOM’s SAILOR 900 VSAT was selected as the antenna for the Seasat A/S-designed satcom system for 45 Maersk Supply Services ships.

The VSAT solution is centered around Seasat’s ready-to-use rack, which houses all below-deck equipment in a 30 HE steel rack, providing Internet access to the ship and crew, as well as voice-over IP telephony.

The solution features global Ku-band VSAT coverage with automatic handover between satellites. The rack also includes an Iridium Pilot system as a failover facility.
