P & L International, Inc., a leading provider of innovative land and marine based satellite communication solutions has announced ZipPhaser, a breakthrough maritime satellite communications system for high speed Internet broadband. Initially designed for military applications, ZipPhaser is now commercially available for advanced maritime applications. The system is designed to meet the highest performance Internet and telephonic demands while underway at sea. The “total solution package” consists of the ZipPhaser low profile (5.9” high) phased array satellite antenna and a next generation satellite router, 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 phased array antennas such as the ZipPhaser with capability to provide seamless region-to-region connectivity (GNMS) on high earth orbit KU band satellite transponders. Teleport services include Internet broadband and 24/7 network control and support. ZipPhaser is targeted for large commercial cruise ships, super yachts or any vessel where reliable, uninterrupted and high speed business communications are critical. The immediate advantage of ZipPhaser is seen (or not seen, due to it's low profile) in the flat panel array KU band antenna profile that provides maritime communications with less wind drag than conventional stabilizing radome antennas as shown in the yacht in the photo to the lower right.
