[SatNews] SpeedCast Ltd. and Orbit Technologies have partnered to deliver uninterrupted global marine communications services across all major maritime routes. SpeedCast selected Orbit Technologies’ OrSat-G (AL-7103) marine antenna to optimize its continuous Ku-band coverage.

SpeedCast worked with Orbit to help integrate the OrSat-G antenna into its global Ku-band network and has now incorporated it into their product portfolio as one of its global marine antennas. OrSat-G is Orbit’s most advanced 1.15 meter Ku-band Offset Gregorian antenna system, boasting automatic beam switching between satellites. SpeedCast pioneered the delivery of a seamless auto-beam-switching broadband communications service using multiple satellites operating in the Ku-band for maritime customers. Over the past several years, SpeedCast has developed a vast infrastructure for providing this seamless connectivity for maritime data, video and voice communications services. As part of the partnership, SpeedCast has already purchased a large number of OrSat-G systems to offer uninterrupted Ku-band satellite coverage along major maritime routes and offshore regions. SpeedCast has also selected the OrSat-G for use in their “turn-key” maritime communications solutions. These complete packages provide a single bundled solution for maritime customers, with all of the equipment required to deliver uninterrupted communications services to their vessels.
