ICG's MIS-200
The MIS-200 (Maritime Iridium Communication System) incorporates dual satcom channels over a single miniature antenna providing simultaneous data and voice communications. This is an ideal solution for vessels requiring over the horizon tactical voice and data communications. The system will support two-way data messaging in addition to a direct voice communications channel. The MIS-200 supports autonomous vessel tracking by an Operations Center (OPCEN). The system allows for multiple assets to be operated and monitored. When targets of interest are identified, the operator can input into the vessel's Nav/Guidance system and support realtime reporting to/from OPCEN. The design allows vessel data/voice link origination and termination. Data messages are relatively small consisting of position (Lat/Long), heading, course, velocity, date, time and text messaging. The voice channel can interface to the vessel's intercom system with the ability to dial a preprogrammed number when taken off hook. A total of three telephone stations can be installed with standard DTMF handsets supporting inbound and outbound calling.

24" KVH-developed marine terminal. The mini-VSAT broadband service is fast, "always on", and available in a variety of pricing packages that offer significant cost savings for heavy data users when compared with other traditional data solutions available for commercial and leisure vessels. To support this service, KVH, under a joint development agreement with ViaSat, developed the TracPhone V7 two-way broadband satellite terminal. The system combines KVH's antenna technology with ViaSat's ArcLight spread spectrum mobile broadband technology. KVH created the 24" diameter antenna, the smallest stabilized satellite antenna available for providing broadband data connections to vessels. TracPhone V7 is as much as 65 KVH TracPhone percent smaller and 40 percent lighter than Inmarsat Fleet F77 antennas, and 85 percent smaller and 75 percent lighter than 1meter maritime VSAT antennas. ViaSat developed a new maritime version of its ArcLight spread spectrum modem currently used on business jets and by the military. The two companies jointly integrated these key technologies to enable the TracPhone V7 twoway broadband satellite terminal.
