Globe Wireless VSAT
Globe Wireless' VSAT solution is a scalable service that can be expanded with additional bandwidth.   
The Globe Wireless Solutions Rack is provided to all VSAT systems - C-Band, Ku, and Mini-Ku. This means that all ships regardless of the system are configured consistently, reducing support and improving user acceptance. Further, because the Globe i4 can be installed on non-VSAT configuration, any ships using Inmarsat and Iridium services are also consistent.
VSAT Solution Rack

The Solution Rack is the integral part of any Globe Wireless VSAT solution. The system is designed specifically for use by the commercial maritime market, and is vitally important to ensure that communications are available at all times. The Solutions Rack uses a carefully designed architecture, designed to seamlessly fit into any existing shipboard network.

Key features of the solution rack are:

  • Globe i4 Communications Router
    • Communications Gateway. The Globe i4 acts as a gateway to all shipboard communications systems, including VSAT, Inmarsat (B, Fleet, Fleet Broadband), Iridium OpenPort or GSM/GPRS/UMTS.
    • User level control. Shipboard users can be permitted or restricted from accessing the web and email by user profile. 
    • Full Configuration Control from shore. All functions of the Globe i4 can be fully configured from a shore web portal, and the system automatically synchronizes connection with the shipboard system. If permitted, administrative users on the ship may also configure the Globe i4 system.
  • A/B/C Network Concept. The Solutions Rack is divided into three separate VLANs; Admin, Business, and Crew. The Admin network allows Globe Wireless and customer shore IT staff to remotely access not only the Solutions Rack components, but any PC or network device on the ship.
  • GlobeVOIP. The GlobeVOIP service provides free voice calling from between the ship and office, and also between VSAT ships. Dialing rates to most popular countries are between $0.10 to $0.30 per minute.
  • GlobeVPN. Interconnects your ship systems to the office network, allowing for access to shore based file systems and servers. GlobeVPN uses a highly efficient satellite optimized protocol which optimizes use of valuable bandwidth.
