OmniAccess launches BroadBEAM Ultra 20 Mbit, the fastest VSAT Airtime Package for Yachts

OmniAccess today announces their new, ultra-fast 20 Megabit VSAT airtime package BroadBEAM Ultra.

OmniAccess BroadBEAM Ultra allows for up to 20 Mbps (Megabit per second) downstream, with a low contention-ratio of 1:5, and 1 Mbps upstream (dedicated). While conventional satellite services usually provide maximum download speeds of 1 Mbps, BroadBEAM Ultra is up to 20 times faster, and is considered the fastest maritime airtime package available today.

BroadBEAM Ultra is specifically designed for use within the Super- and Mega-yacht sector and for highend Internet demand. It allows for the use of next-generation, bandwidth-hungry applications like highdefinition video-conferencing, the simultaneous streaming of multiple HDTV channels, and other extreme applications.

OmniAccess BroadBEAM Ultra service will be offered in tailor-made packages, optimized for the typical yachting calendar, consisting of a 5-month winter-season package for the Caribbean (from 15. November – 15. April), and a 6-month summer-season package for the Mediterranean (15. April – 15. October).

In addition to the 20 Megabit service, OmniAccess BroadBEAM Ultra will also be offered at a lower speed of 10 Megabit down (1:5 contention-ratio) and 512 kbps up (dedicated) – for those whose bandwidth need is not as extreme.

BroadBEAM Ultra makes use of the latest, state-of-the-art iDirect Evolution platform and the iDirect x5 satellite modem to support these high bandwidth applications.

The BroadBEAM Ultra service-package starts with prices of 42.500,- EUR for the 10 Mbps service/Caribbean Season package, and 67.500,- EUR for the 20 Mbps/Caribbean Season package.

At METS 2010 Amsterdam, OmniAccess will launch BroadBEAM Ultra, and will be accepting orders for this year’s Caribbean service – and pre-orders for next year’s Mediterranean Service.
