Advancements in the maritime communications has been slow to achieve it’s goal as a leader in broadband. It is surprising since it is totally dependent on it for sustaining in a world that has no cell towers or DSL fiber to communicate with outside world. What is more surprising is how slow they adapt to new technology that make their jobs better and the crews more connected to the outside world while they are at sea. The engineers at P&L International, Inc. has made it their passion to make this a more integrated part of the world with new advancements in Phase Array Technology. Not only the wealthy owner of the Yacht can email and surf the web. The crew now would have the same capability and run their lives normally in a networked world. ZipPhaser ll is a the product that will make that all happen and the only challenge is the convincing the owners to make it available on their floating world. This blog is to get the opinion of those that understand being on the Ocean for weeks and months and the time that is lost by not being connected to families, friends, financial operations and other network required tasks. The ZipPhaser ll was designed for that purpose and the questions arise as to why the money won’t be spent for those souls on our oceans that make it their life styles.

ZipPhaser ll is here now:
The ZipPhaser ll is the most advanced marine KU band Satellite VSAT antenna ever developed. It is only 4.3″ high and can perform in any Ocean Region better than the largest radome antennas built. With a total weight of 93lbs and a size of 59″X 39″ and only 4.3″ high. This antenna offers the highest data rates for the size and performance at 59 dBW EIRP with a return link equivalent to a 2.3 meter 144″ radome. World wide broadband coverage in KU band on all networks. This antenna operates on all latitudes with full equatorial , high skew and near zenith ops. Polarization is Dual Tracking Linear with a G/T (Mid-Band) of 10-13 dB/K. Interoperability equiv. to a 2.3 Meter Parabolic system. Acquisition of 1 second and tracking Speed of 300deg per second. Operates on all networks and is Modem Agnostic.This antenna can be built into the deck for no visual impact on any bridge. Full bandwidth packages available to 10Mbps. Will operate on all KU band transponder beams world wide. No spreading required and can be supported by any current service provider. Please contact us for pricing on service packages available.
I would like your comments!

Paul,
I am in agreement of your assesment of the Zip Phaser II. This will do away with the conventional dome shaped from the 14″ thru to 1.2m and 2.4m VSAT ant. The C2SAT 4-axle gimbal stablized antenna will tackle the zenith issue with bigger footprint while the mini-VSAT has limited bandwidth. I believe the same Zip Phazer II can be sued for land based COTM.
