Satellite Communications System suits cruise ships and yachts.
Press Release Summary:
Offering 2-way communications, ZipPhaser consists of low profile 5.9 in. phase array antenna system, satellite router/controller, and iDirect Evolution X5 HUB. Automatic Beam Switching provides seamless region-to-region connectivity on high earth orbit KU band satellite transponders using iDirect's Global Network Management System. Via control of azimuth, elevation, and polarization angles, ZipPhaser automatically searches for, acquires, and maintains designated satellite frequency.
Original Press Release:
P&L International, Inc. Announces State of the Art, Phase Array Satellite Communications System for Cruise Ships, Super Yachts and Airlines
The ZipPhaser is a breakthrough in two-way satellite communications coupled with the iDirect Evolution X5 HUB support. The ZipPhaser's low profile 5.9" phase array antenna system is designed to provide highspeed broadband communications for cruise ships and superyachts. P&L International, Inc. is also proposing a next generation broadband system for commercial airlines that need capability to connect over the Ocean Regions. The system being proposed offers the highest technology phase array capability for broadband on Jet aircraft. Our network reaches the globe with KU band service at broadband speeds.
WAXHAW, N.C., -- P & L International, Inc., a leading provider of innovative land and marine based satellite communication solutions, announced today "ZipPhaser", a breakthrough maritime and aircraft satellite communication system. Initially designed for military applications, "ZipPhaser" is commercially available for the very first time. The system is designed to meet the highest performance Internet and Telephonic demands while underway at sea or air.
The "total solution package" consists of a low profile (5.9" high) phase array satellite antenna with virtually no moving parts, a next generation satellite router/controller, the iDirect Evolution X5. The system maximizes the efficiency of satellite capacity with spread spectrum support for small profile antennas. The X5's automatic beam switching (ABS) was designed for phase array antennas such as the "ZipPhaser" with capability to provide seamless region-to-region connectivity on high earth orbit KU band satellite transponders. This is accomplished with iDirects Global Network Management System (GNMS). Teleport services include Internet broadband, Cell phone and 24/7 network control and support. The P&L Maritime and Air Satellite System is targeted for large commercial cruise ships, super yachts and aircraft where reliable, uninterrupted and high speed business communications are critical.
The immediate advantage of ZipPhaser is in the flat panel array KU band antenna that provides maritime or aircraft communications with less wind drag than conventional stabilizing radome antennas. ZipPhaser automatically searches for, acquires and maintains the designated satellite frequency via control of the azimuth, elevation and polarization angles. The automatic beam switching gives maritime vessels or commercial airlines seamless transition from one ocean region to the next with no interruption of service.
According to Paul Pazzaglini, Founder and President of P&L International, "Clients are equally divided between the aesthetic appeal and the high bandwidth performance "ZipPhaser" offers when citing their top reason for specifying our solution." He adds "Yacht purists do not want to put a big, round dome antenna on the lines of a beautifully designed yacht nor do they want to compromise on performance.
