$69.00

Now Inmarsat’s long awaited Global Xpress satellites are delivering service on a global basis, battle has been joined between Ku and Ka-band maritime VSAT services, as providers seek to upgrade L-band users to higher bandwidth. What will be the critical differentiating factors for these new services? Does the answer lie in value-added services such as video? Or will it come down to which solutions offer the cheapest bandwidth? Will VSAT become an off-the-shelf solution similar to L-band, and if so what will happen to the attractive gross margins which have incentivized many maritime distributors to add VSAT to their portfolio? This panel will feature both satellite operators and service providers discussing the pros and cons of different solutions, and sharing their views on how these new services will help to grow the market for maritime connectivity.
