Unique features

The JUE-500 FleetBroadband FB500, the latest-generation
maritime communication solution from JRC, is compactly
designed, easy to install and puts high-speed connectivity
right at your  ngertips.

At “work” at the same time

FleetBroadband provides simultaneous access to high quality

voice and high-speed data, along with email, fax and SMS
messaging. A captain can download the latest weather and
navigational charts. At the same time, crew can do all the things

online that they normally do at home, such as sending emails,
accessing social networking sites, calling friends and family – a
vital resource for maintaining morale when away at sea for
potentially months on end.

High speed

Based on 3G standards, FleetBroadband will provide constant,
simultaneous access to voice and high-speed data, capable
of supporting always-on broadband connectivity at speeds
up to 432kbps and streaming IP data rate of up to 256kbps.

Additionally, it allows users to send and receive SMS messages of

up to 160 characters, a feature that is proven popular with crew

who are used of texting from their GSM mobiles while on shore.

Antenna design

The antenna base which is located inside dome is solid piece of aluminum, making
it stable and durable. JRC adapted its proven three-axis control. The antenna size is
greatly reduced by using the latest technologies.

Our company’s long experience of
antenna design ensured the antenna
is robust and easy to install. No gyro or
GPS input is required and it bene ts
from having no cable under the radome,
which means there is no need for ‘cable
unwrap’ maneuvers to free cable that
has become twisted as the device
moves to locate the satellite.

These and more features make the
electronics and mechanical design of
the JRC JUE-500 as advanced on the
inside as it is on the outside.

JUE-500 Fle et Bro ad ba nd – puts high-speed connectivity right at your fingertips

JUE-500 FleetBroadband
– developed for maximum ease of use

Easy to install

With the antenna set inside a beautifully designed radome cover, ranging just over
60 cm and a compact below deck terminal,  nding a space on your vessel for your
new FleetBroadband FB500 shouldn’t be a problem.

It has the same cable management philosophy resembling other Inmarsat
products that JRC is o ering, allowing for an easy installation as only a single coax
cable is used between antenna and terminal.
