At Charity & Taylor we can provide fixed installation units for use on board ships, yacth's or any other sea going vessles these may include large, rugged, rack-mounted electronics, and a steerable microwave antenna on the mast that automatically tracks the overhead satellites. FleetBroadband is the first maritime communications service to provide cost-effective broadband data and voice, simultaneously, through a compact antenna on a global basis. The Imarsat Fleet Broadband is dedicated to shipping vessel owners and more recently we have developed specific marine solutions with greater levels of bandwidth.

The satellite telephone, satellite phone, or satphone is a type of mobile phone that connects to orbiting satellites instead of terrestrial mobile - cell sites. Depending on the architecture of a particular system, coverage may include the entire Earth, or only specific regions.

More recent satellite phones are similar in size to a regular mobile phone while some prototype satellite phones have no distinguishable difference from an ordinary smartphone. Satphones are popular on expeditions into remote areas where terrestrial cellular service is unavailable and we have supplied many Iridium satellite phones to expeditions and round the world yacht races.
