Inmarsat Fleet Broadband (FBB): Global Maritime Communication
Inmarsat Fleet Broadband (FBB) delivers near-global, always-on voice and broadband IP connectivity via compact L-band antennas, keeping vessels connected far beyond coastal coverage. Simultaneous phone calls and data rates of up to 432 kbps support email, telemetry, remote diagnostics, chart updates, and crew welfare internet on ships of any size. Built-in 505 emergency calling and Fleet Safety services link directly to rescue coordination centres, strengthening compliance with IMO safety requirements. By serving as a resilient backbone—and automatic fallback when VSAT links fade—FBB enhances operational efficiency, regulatory reporting, and welfare at sea.
