The delivery of Internet connectivity to the cruise industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Utilizing state of the art technology, P&L International will deliver significant improvements in service and reliability with compelling economics. Our systems will enable wireless connectivity throughout the ship, greatly enhancing the passenger experience and delivering increased revenue potential. Economics can be tailored to maximize profit potential based on the expected passenger usage and marketing needs. In addition, our use of state of the art technology enables us to significantly reduce fuel consumption and overall maintenance costs. These systems can be deployed with a minimum amount of installation time so as to not impede the overall ships operations. Even more compelling than comprehensive Internet service is our ability to deliver worldwide wireless telephone service to cruise passengers. The inability of individuals to communicate via cell phone during a cruise remains a major deterrent to expanding the passenger client base to an important and lucrative sector of the market. While Internet connectivity provides an important link to the outside business world, it does not address the needs of many who require voice communications for either business or personal reasons. P&L offers a comprehensive solution to this problem by providing cruise ship companies the capability to offer worldwide mobile phone service to passengers. In conclusion, P&L International provides the technology, expertise and comprehensive service to support the evolving communication needs of the cruise industry. Bringing unsurpassed experience drawn from a wide range of business applications of varying complexity, P&L gives our clients a significant edge in an increasingly competitive cruise environment.
ZipPhaser ll
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The ZipPhaser ll is a breakthrough in two-way satellite communications coupled with the iDirect Evolution X5 HUB support. The ZipPhaser's low profile 4.3" phased array antenna system is designed to provide communications for ships/boats/yachts,ect. This innovative antenna system automatically searches for and acquires the designated satellite signal and maintains pointing via automatic tracking and control of the azimuth, elevation and polarization angles while the ship or yacht is in motion at speeds to 240 Mph with no moving parts. Evolution X5 supports high-end enterprise networks operated by maritime service providers such as P&L International. It works with iDirect’s mobility features for maritime applications such as the ZipPhaser with automatic beam switching and spread spectrum. X5 also supports iDirect’s global network management system capability. The router can be deployed with a 60cm stabilized Ku-band ZipPhaser antenna supporting broadband data requirements and facilitating VoIP and video traffic. The bandwidth is selectable up to 2Mbps per antenna (multiple antennas can be installed per ship or Yacht) and the use of cell phones are also available through MicroCell technology. The ZipPhaser offers valuable utility across a wide range of applications, including ship or yacht broadband communications and first responders with a high-speed satellite communications independent of terrestrial infrastructures. The satellite coverage area operates on the KU band and uses the same satellite service with no changes to hardware settings. This is accomplished by utilizing the new X5 iDirect HUB line card. Coverage Areas on Telesat 11@37.55deg West for seamless region switching include: US - Waters Complete Caribbean Sea Central America South America North Atlantic complete from US/Caribbean to Mediterranean up to 60deg. in Finland Mediterranean African waters on the east coast and west coast and south Africa.
