Satellite communication solution company Modutel introduces the regional maritime satellite communication service (R-MVSAT).

Modutel (CEO Park Jong-sik) announced on the 7th that it has developed R-MVSAT in cooperation with Marinlink and Intellian Technologies, and will provide it to mid-sized commercial vessels and fishing boats operating in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia offshore.

R-MVSAT is a satellite communication-based high-speed internet service for ships that allows unlimited use of high-speed internet, such as land, on ships that are sailing for around 1 million won per month. Internet phone, e-mail and other large data communication, internet search, social network service (SNS), etc. are possible.

The service target is about 500 medium and large-sized vessels that operate in about 5000 km from Korea to Southeast Asia.

MVSAT is a high-speed Internet service for large commercial and long-distance fishing vessels that travel to and from the ocean. R-MVSAT is a service for small and medium-sized shipping companies and shipowners who have been operating a relatively short distance compared to long-term-operated large-sized ships and have been unable to introduce the existing MVSAT due to conditions such as ship size.

Using Intelsat Satellite, the world’s largest satellite company, and the satellite communication network is a global satellite. Network operator Marlink and VSAT antennas are provided by Intellian, the world’s No. 1 market share.

Modutel plans to preoccupy the market by focusing on these strengths. MVSAT products, which represent services and short-term fixed-rate subscriptions in specific regions, were first introduced by KT Saat earlier this year. With the launch of Modultel’s service, two rival systems have been established in the domestic R-MVSAT market.

Park Jong-shik, CEO of Modultel, said, “With the increase in the number of satellites and the rapid development of satellite communication technology, marine high-speed Internet services are also becoming popular. The R-MVSAT is a sign that the maritime high-speed Internet service extends from large merchant ships that travel to and from the ocean to offshore-operated vessels. p>

Meanwhile, Modultel, Intellian, and Marlink will hold a joint seminar of three companies at the Paradise Hotel in Busan on the 22nd and introduce the background and advantages of R-MVSAT.
