Parallel Sessions

10.00 - 11.00

Inmarsat training session: How to manage satellite bandwidth efficiently

This session is designed to cover the basics of management and optimisation, using what is commonly available, no matter what your choice in communication is.

High speed communication has become crucial in supporting a busy working environment. It is essential in sending and receiving vital information that relates to the efficient operation of your vessel.

Many of the new applications available are driving the need for higher speed and unlimited data satcoms solutions. However, the available bandwidth is too soon consumed unless you understand the use of bandwidth and how to efficiently manage it.
