How does Viasat compare to KVH satellite internet systems?

• As a comparison, most competitor’s Ku Band Vsat satellites have a maximum throughput capacity of about 15 Gigabits per second.
• That 15GB per second throughput is split and shared between all of the Vsat units on the Yachts, Ships, and Oil Rigs using that same satellite.
• Viasat’s current capacity is 260 Gigabits per second, simply a different universe.
• Viasat currently supports commercial airlines like JetBlue and Delta, where 150 passengers simultaneously surf and stream internet content, with no issues.
• And it gets even better in 2023, with the launch of the Global Viasat 3 constellation. Each or the three Viasat 3 satellites will be adding 1000 Gigabit per second to the existing constellation.
• The Viasat technology, already famous with commercial airlines, brings an at home/at office Internet experience at sea including streaming and videoconferencing.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between Viasat and LEO Sat?
   Viasat is Enterprise Grade, Superyacht Quality, Satellite Internet Service with 24/7 phone tech support, and worldwide local technical support. In addition to that, Viasat is able to quickly adjust their spotbeams to add more bandwidth to any areas with user congestion. As an example, St Barths and St Martin during Xmas and New Years 2022 was so congested that $5,000 per month LEO Sat Maritime users were only getting 5Mbps down. We had several Viasat yachts in the same congested area, that enjoyed uninterrupted high speed service.
   LEO Sat is a different quality of service and support. At this time there are about 4,000 LEO Sat satellites in low earth orbit. The full constellation of LEO Sat satellites is slated to be 40,000 satellites. Because LEO Sat is currently operating with a minimal number of satellites, there are several times each hour where there are no LEO Sat satellites in view of your vessels antenna, during that time (could be seconds, could be minutes) you will have NO INTERNET. In addition to these differences, the only way LEO Sat can increase bandwidth in any particular area, is to launch more satellites. There is no quick and easy way to add or adjust bandwidth for LEO Sat user congestion issues. LEO Sat is also very different from Viasat when it comes to support. The only way to receive support from LEO Sat is to send an email, and wait for an emailed response. There is no tech support number to call for LEO Sat assistance, and no local LEO Sat technical support.

   Viasat has a built in high speed LTE/5g backup, at no extra cost.

1. Why does Viasat have a cellular component as part of the system?
   In addition to backing up your high speed internet connection, the 4LTE5g modem allows the Viasat techs to remotely access your system for diagnostics, adjustments, and software updates.

1. What is the difference between Viasat sailor 600 and Viasat sailor 900?
   The Sailor 900 antenna dome is significantly larger than the Sailor 600. Larger antennas equates to better functionality in “fringe” coverage areas, and in heavy weather situations. The larger 900 antenna also equated to more bandwidth and speed throughput.

1. Can I upgrade my existing Sailor 600 or 900 system to Viasat service?
   Unfortunately, no, you cannot upgrade your current Sailor 600 or 900 KU band Vsat. KU band Sailor 600 and 900 systems must be replaced when upgrading vessel to Viasat system.

1. Can Marine Data Solutions provide and install the Viasat high speed internet system on my Yacht
   Yes, we can handle the installation of your new Viasat system in the South Florida area. Our technical offices are located at Lauderdale Marine center in Fort Lauderdale. Please click here and let us know your installation details.
