Dualog Connection Suite - Overview
Secondary Communication System e.g. Inmarsat FB, Iridium Pilot Inmarsat Fleet, Iridium Classic etc.
Primary Communication System e.g. VSAT

Maritime Broadband via satellites
Higher freguency gives more capacity, but is more sensitive to weather
Traditional understanding

VSAT
Higher freguency gives more capacity, but is more sensitive to weather
Common established understanding 2014
The maritime dilemma
Kilobits per second
The gap between terestrial and maritime bandwidth is large - and has increased
Mobile data usage growth
Anything (really) new ?
High Throughput Satellites – definition and technology – more wiki
High throughput satellites (HTS) is a classification for communications satellites that provide at least twice, though usually by a factor of 20 or more, the total throughput of a classic FSS satellite for the same amount of allocated orbital spectrum thus significantly reducing cost-per-bit. [Source: Wikipedia]
Major benefits Internet access service in regions unserved or underserved by terrestrial
technolgies Substantially reduced cost per bit per second
– From over 100 mill USD per Gbit/s for FSS to app 3 mill USD per Gbit/s for HTS
Technology High level frequency re-use Spot beams Ka-band (majority, but some also in Ku-band) Regional teleports
O3b Networks - HTS
Coverage - between 45° N and 45° South Low cost
– Depends
Low latency – App. 180 ms vs app 340 ms for geostationary satellites
High speed – Up to 350 Mbit/s download (to the ship) and 150 Mbit/s upload (from the ship)
O3B – 8/8 satellites launched, service operational 2014 – MEO: Ka-band
O3b Maritime – RCCL cruise ship

Other Upcoming Maritime HTS Systems
Inmarsat Global Xpress® - 1/3 satellites launched • Next 2 satellites to
be launched 2015 • GEO: Ka-band + L-
band
Intelsat EpicNG – 2017 - 0/2+ launch start second half 2015 • GEO: C-band, Ku-and Ka
bands, wide beams, spot beams
Telenor Thor-7 – 1/1 launch autumn 2014, postponed to 2015 • GEO: Ku-and Ka bands

May new tech/new systems/terrestrial systems bridge the gap?

User behavior – actual experience #2 – cost sharing
Company Strategic decision to: – Provide paid Internet access to crew – Free crew email
Dualog Quota Management Used to control crew Internet access – Manage Data Volume (Free or chargeable)
Low volume data packages (2-6 GB)
– Charge crew for usage

Custome experience #2 summary
Very hard to get crew to cover for the communication cost – The crew will not pay for Internet surfing access – Crew e-mail is an option to “stay in touch”
Quota Control of total usage
– Effective tool to reduce data usage – Gives flexibility, easy to adjust
Bandwidth control and management gave the most benefit from
company point of view, not the cost sharing
Fair usage among the Crew – Illegal stuff gone – “Big spenders reduced”
The “C-level” Factor
Improved Internet Experience On Board
Capt. Filip Svensson, Vice President Marine Operations, Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA
How Wilhelmsen met the challenge to maximize Business and Crew Welfare at the same time with maritime Broadband (VSAT)

Summary
Internet is here to stay – also on board – Business Integration – Crew Welfare
Crew can not - and will not - share the cost C-level people enters the arena for the strategic reasons For the next decade: think smarter – do the best out of your limited
bandwidth and budget
