TracPhone F55 makes the power and versatility of Inmarsat’s Fleet satellite service available in a compact, mobile communications system ideal for leisure craft and small commercial vessels worldwide. Using a 22" (55 cm) antenna housed in a 26" (66 cm) dome matching KVH’s TracVision M7, TracPhone F55 delivers fast Internet/Intranet connections, video conferencing, and global voice/fax service.

TracPhone F55 provides access to both Fleet’s Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) channel and Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS) via Inmarsat’s global spotbeams, which cover 90% of the world’s cruising routes as well as all popular maritime regions. These services give you two powerful options for high-speed Internet access: ISDN (per-minute charge) for high-bandwidth voice, video conferencing, and large file transmission; and MPDS (per-megabit charge) for a high-capacity, always-online connection which allows you to surf the web without the constraints of a pay-by-the-minute type of connection – a far more relaxing way to use the Internet! TracPhone F55 is fully compatible with shipboard PABX systems as well as onboard networks (when connected to an IP router).

Founded in 1979 and supporting more than 260,000 users worldwide, Inmarsat is the world leader in mobile satellite communications. Fleet F55 and TracPhone F55 are compatible with Inmarsat’s 4th generation of satellites ensuring that your investment in communications today will continue to pay dividends in the future.

If you need to switch easily between multiple TracPhone satellite communications systems, KVH also offers an optional Service Selector. This simple solution allows you enjoy the benefits of both the mini-VSAT Broadband and Inmarsat services when you need them.
