LinkScape Changes the Industry with the next generation VSAT Technology Platform UltraVSAT

Oct. 22, 2012 - PRLog -- Fort Lauderdale, FL: October 22nd, 2012:  LinkScape will debut its exclusive next generation UltraVSAT™ platform, powered by its new enhanced modem – the Eagle Ultra, an intelligent platform that controls the antenna system, provides one of the fastest up and down links available, combined with low fixed costs, and the smallest antenna size.  The Eagle Ultra is the only self-contained 1U appliance with integrated power supplies, modem, and antenna controller (ACU/DAC) with a complete installation requiring just two cables from the modem to the antenna. UltraVSAT™ antenna systems are available from just 75cm in size and the Eagle Ultra also provides compatibility with existing legacy SeaTel and Intellian antenna installations.

To coincide with the launch of Eagle Ultra at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, LinkScape will be offering all visitors to the show a FREE 30 day trial.

David Horacek, Sales Director of LinkScape, said, “With climbing operational costs on mega yachts, captains are always looking for a way to maintain high speed Internet, at a lower cost without compromising on performance.  Combining LinkScape’s Tier 1 global coverage of 33 satellites and 13 teleports with 24/7 and onsite support, a peak level of performance is achievable as a result of multiple overlapping satellites in each region to avoid blockage and increase throughput.  Our new Eagle Ultra enables Captains to switch satellites with our ‘point and click’ web-based technology, so changes can be made via a laptop, notebook or even iPhone anywhere on the boat”.

Unlike other Internet providers in the industry, Linkscape's UltraVSAT™ technology was designed and built specifically for the maritime market.  Eagle Ultra's industry exclusive intuitive user interfaces make it easy to use, switch satellites, and manage traffic.   Transitioning between coverage is "hands off" and if ever blocked, it is a simple "point and click" interface to switch to another satellite. With other providers, you have to contact their support center and then change the configuration and settings yourself if the vessel has gone beyond the satellite. It's a time consuming and difficult technical process that can leave you without any connection for long periods of time.

Some of the new features include greater flexibility and seamless updates, robust Ku and C band coverage across the world and customized ‘month at a time’ service plans.
   
LinkScape prides itself on having the fastest shared, dedicated, and hybrid plans on the market, providing download speeds of over 8 Mbps and upload speeds of over 1Mbps.  LinkScape can typically offer twice the speeds of other Internet providers, for the same price.

The Eagle Ultra can even manage other secondary Internet connections such as a Fleet Broad Band or Wi-Fi through the same interface with no additional hardware.

No other modem in the industry allows for this level of automation together with a robust Ku band coverage of the Americas, Caribbean, Asia, and Europe.  Currently the coverage exceeds 30 satellite beams. The LinkScape network consists of multiple redundant international teleport earth stations. Our redundant network centers are located in Austria and Luxembourg, stable jurisdictions offering our customers strong data privacy. LinkScape maintains points of contact throughout all European, US, and Caribbean yachting centers.

Come and experience for yourself ‘The Most Powerful Internet at Sea’. Demonstrations will be taking place at booth #535-536 at The Builder’s Tent.  Contact us today at Tel: +1 954 678 9721 or email us at vsatinfo@linkscape.net to make an appointment.  For more general information, check out our website at www.linkscape.net.
