System Overview

Your TracPhone V3-IP is a complete mini-VSAT Broadband communications system for mariners on the move. Using cutting-edge CRMA (code reuse multiple access) and spread spectrum technologies, the TracPhone V3-IP delivers a seamless and consistent Internet experience. And it all comes with an antenna that is smaller and lighter than traditional VSAT antennas.

The system consists of an antenna and Integrated CommBox Modem (ICM) that connect to a land-based hub via a Ku-band satellite. The hub, managed by a Network Operations Center (NOC), then provides the link to the Internet and the terrestrial telephone network.
