Great Circle Systems offers hands-on experience with VSAT installation, integration, and ongoing support. Many companies currently offering VSAT installations and airtime packages are experienced with marine communications and electronics in general, but have little or no actual experience with VSAT installations. This includes:

• Dozens of completed installations in Europe and USA
• Expert Internet/email integration
• Only company offering complete US/European support
• Competitive pricing with no hidden costs

The GCS VSAT Systems Installation with SeaMobile/MTN provides business-class connectivity for your at-sea communications requirements, with always-on Internet connectivity at high outbound speeds. Enough telephone lines to support individual stateroom, cabin, and office use. Typically Internet speeds vary; however, SeaMobile/MTN DirectNet service provides connectivity at 512 kbps inbound (satellite to ship) and 128 kbps outbound (ship to satellite) speeds. And if this is not enough bandwidth, this can be upgraded to 1.5 mbps inbound and 256 kbps outbound.

GCS prefers MTN, because it has unparalleled experience, vast infrastructure and broad technical capabilities to provide high-quality, reliable global communications on the world’s most powerful satellite network designed specifically for the maritime industry. In May 2006, MTN was acquired by SeaMobile Enterprises, the dominant global provider of at-sea communications, connectivity and content and one of the world’s leading maritime-focused GSM and CDMA wireless operators.
