Broadband at Sea

and others
Our story begins when the owner of a 65m yacht needing Internet Access for business & personal communication looked to see what was available in the market.  At the time (2003) marine VSAT was in its infancy and in common with many forward thinking owners he installed two “empty domes” and began Sea Trials using a combination of GPRS and Fleet 77.  A few weeks later, the bills came in and he was less than happy because; to paraphrase “why do I have a $20,000 solution… I don’t have a $20,000 problem?”.  Taking advice, he turned to the largest and longest standing VSAT Supplier in the world, Hughes Network Systems and together with a team of industry experts (including a co-founder of GMC who was a part of the team that originally developed VSAT at Bell Labs) he established Global Marine Communications (GMC) and asked them to develop a “marine VSAT offering” that would leverage the considerable bandwidth & industry experience Hughes had at its disposal.

As the ETO on board a vessel or a project manager at the build stage, you have designed & implemented a robust network infrastructure, an early warning system of potential failures is going to become increasingly important. Your current communications integrator should be able to provide you with monitoring systems to ensure a timely "head's up" allowing you time to implement a work around before a vital service is lost. This system should extend to resource monitoring because it's all well and good knowing your car is working 100% but it will do you little good if you have run out of fuel! Substantial investments have been made to address the growing demand for Internet delivered content & services but despite a substantial capacity increase in recent years, broadband remains a finite & relatively costly resource when provided at sea. At Global Marine Communications we believe this resource needs to be managed like any other finite resource and so have developed a Broadband Optimisation & Service Selector (BOSS) Solution.

The BOSS is a simple user interface through which the Captain can ensure best use of available bandwidth for ships business whilst still allowing crew access within given budget allowances or time windows. A budget can be set which limits the data amount or Internet speed of individuals, groups or even an entire vessel. The BOSS guarantees high priority users internet access capacity protecting them from "greedy" crew members downloading the latest film. The BOSS does this "gently" and without employing the current, rather crude, approach of disconnecting all crew from the network when the owner is on board. The BOSS can even ensure primary users (Owner/Officers) always have priority access for their traffic giving them 100% of the availability if required with no additional management overhead on the ship's master or system administrator. In addition our Security Server ensures only authorised users have access to the ship's network and bandwidth. This is achieved through a simple and intuitive user interface, which makes management of changes in guests, and crew easy, automatically disconnects abusers and allows administrators to monitor usage. We believe it is essential our industry recognises the changes that are coming in terms of how people will enjoy their leisure time in the near future and moves towards addressing these changing needs. In the mean time we urge you to put in place systems that are fit for purpose and expandable as demands continue to grow because if you don't do it now...whoever replaces you will.
