Global CIR and why is so important?
Committed Information Rate (CIR) is guaranteed bandwidth that is not shared by other clients on the network. It guarantees communications when the network is heavily loaded
How much CIR do the RedCGlobal plans have?
They include 64 Kbps, 128 Kbps, 256 Kbps CIR options
Global C
Global ABS and Why is so important?
To do it properly requires multiple satellites with wide geostationary separation with overlapping beams. RedCGlobal network uses:
Five satellites with overlapping coverage in the America spread over 75 degrees of longitude
Two satellites with overlapping coverage in the AOR spread over 26 degrees of longitude
Six satellites with overlapping coverage in Europe spread over 99 degrees of longitude
ABS is used to solve blockage issues, whether onboard or nearby. If you only have two satellites close together both may be blocked
What triggers ABS?
GPS position indicates the vessel is approaching the footprint edge
Antenna azimuth (to the satellite) approaching a mapped blockage zone
Reduction of SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio)
OBM command and control ability
ABS is not instantaneous. A new option file is pushed to the modem and the iDirectmodem needs to reboot.

Roaming & WiFi OnMarine*
Services not included in table rates to be quoted separately
OnMarine Services
Roaming On Marine enables users on offshore installations to use their mobile phones in the same way they do on land
Costs are in line with international roaming rates as appear on individual monthly mobile phone bills
Roaming OnMarinesupplies the roaming infrastructure which allows people to use their mobile phones, smartphonesand tablets in the same way as international roaming
Bandwidth required min. 32 Kbps up to 256 Kbps depending on simultaneous number of calls
WiFi On Marine enables users to connect to the Internet from laptops, tablets and smartphonesover WiFiby simply launching their browser as they would in any hotspot
WiFi On Marine homepage then guides them through the process
Homepage customized in several languages
Major credit cards are acceptedOnMarineServices
How Roaming On Marine Works
Mobile phones or smartphoneson-board are used as they do on land
Miniature cell base station picks up the signal
Signal is processed by the on-board GSM server
Signal is transmitted via RedCsatellite link
Ground GSM infrastructure process signal and directs traffic to called party,
The reverse path from land to vessel is the same vice versa
