ShipSat now includes versatile voice services, which can be used over all your ShipSat Integrated connections for incoming & outgoing calls at Low VoIP (Voice over IP) rates.
Service is available to both pre-pay and post-pay users at the same low rate. All billing is integrated into one ShipSat user account. Now, users only have one balance to keep
track of that is used for all of the ShipSat services. What makes
 
ShipSat voice especially attractive is the ability to place VoIP calls over systems including Inmarsat Fleet Broadband,Iridium OpenPort, Iridium Pilot and VSAT systems at low rates.
This means that finally, you can have one integrated voice service onboard your vessel, across all your onboard connections.
 
The ShipSat VoIP service can be directly connected to your vessel's PBX, thus allowing the crew private calls from their own cabins, or from anywhere a PBX connection is available to the crew.
All ShipSat calls are secured by PINs, even when calls are made through the ship's PBX. ShipSat is the only complete end-to-end maritime broadband solution designed to fit the increasing
bandwidth needs of merchant shipping while managing and controlling costs of broadband and its technologies.Satellite bandwidth is an expensive resource.
