Crew Calling Too

The Iridium Crew Calling service is specifically designed to separate Captain and crew calls and provides the ability to run a prepaid card service for the crew off the captain's main service, a very easy way to manage crew calls.

The Bottom (water) Line: Everything in a box

For marine satellite communications the SeaCaptain is a solution in a box. It includes the transceiver, handset, antennae and even the cabling. In short a great solution for smaller vessels that scales well to larger vessels with a crew. For internet it is worth investigating FleetBroadband solutions and for smaller craft if may be worth considering the BoatDOCK Kit which offers similar features but with a detachable handset for remote onshore locations.
