System Overview

Your TracPhone V11-IP is a complete mini-VSAT Broadband
communications system for mariners on the move. Using cutting-edge
CRMA (code reuse multiple access) and spread spectrum
technologies, the TracPhone V11-IP delivers a seamless and consistent
Internet experience. And it all comes with an antenna that is smaller
and lighter than traditional VSAT antennas.
The system consists of an antenna and Integrated CommBox Modem
(ICM) that connect to a land-based hub via a Ku-band or C-band
satellite. The hub, managed by a Network Operations Center (NOC),
then provides the link to the Internet and the terrestrial telephone
network.
NOTE: A detailed wiring diagram is provided in
page 159.
