In parallel to Inmarsat’s successful I-4 satellite deployment, JRC introduces the next-generation maritime communication solution, the JUE-500 (FB 500) FleetBroadband satellite system. The JUE-500 is compactly designed, easy to install and puts high-speed connectivity at your fingertips with unparalleled bandwidth and connectivity, while significantly reducing business and crew communication costs. JRC also offers it’s exclusive Upgrade Path, with significant cost savings for existing JUE-410/Fleet 77 users.
High Speed with Broad Applications for Captain & Crew:
Based on 3G standards, FleetBroadband provides constant simultaneous access to high-quality voice and high-speed data, along with email, fax and SMS messaging. A captain can download the latest weather and navigational charts, while transmitting vital operational data. At the same time, crew can communicate via emails or VoIP and surf the internet - a vital resource for maintaining morale when away at sea for months on end.
JRC’s Unique Cost-Savings Upgrade Path:
Existing JRC JUE-410F Fleet 77 customers can easily upgrade to the JUE-500 system by only replace the below-deck-unit (plus a few parts inside the antenna), while keeping the same antenna, cabling and peripherals already installed on the vessel. Savings amounts to 50%+ in equipment and installation costs.
