What is "fleetbroadband"

FleetBroadband is a maritime global satellite internet, telephony, SMS texting and ISDN network for ocean-going vessels using portable domed terminal antennas. These terminal antennas range in size from 291 × 275 mm (The FB150) to the largest 605mm x 630mm (FB500) system, which is capable of 432 kbit/s speeds. These antennas, and corresponding indoor controllers, are used to connect phones and laptop computers from sailing vessels, on any ocean, with the rest of the world. All FleetBroadband antennas require line-of-sight to one of three geosynchronous orbit satellites, so the terminal can be used anywhere, even on land.
