VSAT technology opens the broadband era in the yachting market, with connection speeds that can reach extraordinary levels, not even conceivable some years ago. Today it is possible to install a VSAT even on-board small size boats, thanks to technological development, allowing satellite connection by antennas starting from 60cm diameter.
VSAT is the most innovative system for on-board connectivity.
It allows to have Internet always on with fixed and low costs, thanks to flat rates you can subscribe for one year or for limited periods. Coverage is spot-based and varies according to the hardware installed (antenna and modem) and to satellite service provider.
C-SAT Communications offers the most complete range of devices and subscriptions: the standard Ku-band service or the state of art Ka-band connection, always providing the best solutions suitable for the different needs.
Ku-band VSATs are communication antennas working in the frequency band [10.75 – 14.50 GHz] and represent the standard technology.
A Ku-band VSAT provides connection speeds typically up to 4 Mbps, using 1m dish size (smaller antennas are also available but reducing coverage or increasing bandwidth cost).
Major present advantage of a Ku-band solution is service coverage which
has a worldwide extension (due to the high number of available satellites).

Ka-band VSATs are communication antennas working in the frequency band [17.70 – 30.00 GHz] and represent the latest satellite technology. Present Ka-band systems are able to provide a connection speed up to 20 Mbps even using small antennas, thus opening the satellite maritime market to bandwidth intensive applications.
Ka-band satellites network is quickly growing and coverage will be soon available worldwide.
Even using the latest technology, C-SAT is the only one that allow you to choose among all the possibilities.
The ideal solution for always-on Internet and real high speed navigation.
The ideal solution for temporary use of high demanding bandwidth applications.
Besides satellite Internet, C-SAT Communications provides value-added services to enjoy your stay on-board.
