FURUNO brings broadband L-band/Ku-band communications solutions "SafeComNet" to the maritime industry to meet the growing demands for more bandwidth at sea. FURUNO's FleetBroadband and VSAT systems provide broadband communication data rate that we are accustomed to using while onshore.

FURUNO's new satellite communication solution "SafeComNet" delivers an all-in-one, truly seamless broadband communication to the maritime industry.

In recent years, we have seen IT transition in the maritime industry and the subsequent needs for improvement of onboard network infrastructure to handle more and more bandwidth-hungry applications.

Following on from such a trend in the industry, interest has grown significantly within the maritime industry for FleetBroadband and VSAT as components of their network infrastructure that facilitates link between vessels and onshore. FleetBroadband delivers broadband service of up to 432 kbps around the globe with moderate communication fees, while VSAT delivers broadband service of maximum 1 Mbps, comparable to the communication data rate we enjoy every day at office or at home, with flat monthly rate. Flat monthly rate of VSAT delivers “Always-on” network connectivity onboard the vessels, hence bringing to the vessels the network environment comparable to the onshore environment we are accustomed to.

As safety and efficiency of navigation are increasingly dependent upon IT-based communication and there are increasing demands for enhancing crew welfare onboard the vessels, the needs for bringing the IT network environment onboard the vessels has risen. Our answer to such market needs is broadband network infrastructure onboard the vessels, provided through SafeComNet.

Through SafeComNet, FURUNO will not only supply various types of navigation products but also deliver airtime, applications and worldwide service and support as an all-inclusive solution package.
