Hi all
I am a desk driving engineer these days, and I'm tring to set up, or find a good broadband package for the vessels in the company.
If posable i would like to tap into the pool of experence both shore and sea going to find a always on system for both crew and ship's stuff to use.
I know there are some pachages just coming out, and others (very expansive) have been out for a long time.

This is for (mostly) small ships, not much room on the monkey island for big domes.

thanks for any and all help

I just checked with our wizards and they are in the process of installing a Telesat Canada system.
It will provide email and TV anywhere to the ship. The largest dome they are installing is a 600#, but that is a ship that carries over 100 persons including scientists. The rest are much smaller

MTN

My only experience for broadband access on ships, was through MTN on cruise ships. The service on board was great, high speed and pretty reliable. They have a extensive reach into the cruise ship market, I am sure they must have an offshoot for smaller vessels.
