Cobham Sailor 600 VSAT KA antenna
Unique, fast speed VSAT solution, up to 100Mbps
Together with her partners TheDishAntennaShop offers an unique VSAT internet solution, based on the relative small Cobham Sailor 600 VSAT KA antenna. Peak speeds up to 100 Mbps are possible. The typical speeds vary up to 25 to 50 Mpbs, i.e. still very fast speeds for a VSAT connection!
This unique solution can be used on both small as (mega)yachts, i.e. for everyone who needs a high speed VSAT internet connection with a large coverage area. A coverage of the main touristic spots is already included and will be further extended in the near future to other areas as well.
An unique feature of this connection is the so called 'VSAT quiet time' option; this means that when no VSAT connection is required the connection can be stopped temporarily. This can be done 6 months (out of 12 months) and each time based on at least 1 month. During the 'quiet time' a special monthly fee will be charged.
This makes this VSAT internet connection, in combination with the Cobham Sailer 600 VSAT KA antenna, an unique and high speed VSAT internet via satellite connection for both charter and (mega)yachts.
And together with our -optional extension- 4G / LTE solution, with a coverage up to +/- 20 miles offshore, it's possible to have the most beneficial internet connection wherever you are. Even on board of your yacht...
Features VIASAT VSAT KA-band connection
- Monthly fee: on request
- Minimum duration: 12 months
- Peak speed > 100mb, typical speeds up to 25 to 50 Mbps. Monthly data cap in Europe is 75 GB, extension with extra GB’s is possible (on request)

Coverage Cobham SAILOR 600 VSAT KA antenna
Current coverage is in green zones, light blue is future coverage (planned to be launched 2nd half 2021).
Optional extension - 4G / LTE set
Do you want the best (satellite) internet experience on board of your (mega)yacht / ship? Then our 4G / LTE extension set is the right solution. This set, based on amongst others a router and 4 Access Points (AP's), allow you to switch between your satellite VSAT internet connection and the available 4G / LTE internet connection (i.e. for instance based on your own SIM card of your local provider). For instance when your in the harbour or when your ship is anchored within +/- 20 offshore.
In this way you're always assured of the most efficient and beneficial internet connection.
The set exists of the folowing parts, for distribution of the internet signal to 4 cabins (or other locations on board of your yacht or ship):
- Peplink 4G / LTE router (Europe/International GSM)
- Peplink Switch PoE enabled Gigabit (8 ports) and SFP+ (2 ports)
- 2 pcs Omni-directional Marine & Coastal LTE & WiFi antenna (7DBI); one antenna is used for download and one for upload.
- 2 pcs of 10 meter LTE antenna cable for connecting the antennas to the Pepwave router
- 4 pcs AP One Rugged; the AP's can be connected with an ethernet / UTP cable to the router for the best (wireless) internet experience in the cabins where the AP is mounted.
