System Overview

Your TracPhone V7-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 V7-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 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
