SIRM VSAT – Coverage Areas
VSAT SIRM solutions can be offered with regional coverage (in KU or KA bands) or global coverage (in KU bands). SIRM, thanks to collaborations with the main operators in the sector, is able to offer one of the most extensive global covers with overlapping satellite beams in every area (4 in Europe), offering a more efficient service and able to overcome the problems of “blockage” of the antenna.
Thanks to its network of partners, SIRM is able to offer a VSAT KU solution with global coverage, able to serve the main navigation routes. The solution allows an automatic switch between the different coverages, with integrated management by NOC SIRM and its partners. The service offer is completed by the ability to offer onboard technical support at a global level, reducing to a minimum the intervention time to resolve any anomalies.
