Station-53 satellite internet access service for yachts with VoIP option.

Station-53 banner: yacht with maritime mobile satellite internet access
When operating to vessels on lakes, rivers and at sea the satellite dish must accurately track the satellite as the vessel moves.  This requires that the satellite dish be stabilised, in this case using a gyro stabilised platform within a white weather cover radome.  The radome permits the two-way satellite transmissions but stops the wind and weather from affecting the dish pointing accuracy.

News: Nov 2007: The company now operates also on the T12 satellite at 15.0W and provides coverage for Europe.
