Thales  Vesselink 700

The Thales VesseLINK 700 is a compact, rugged maritime satellite terminal built to deliver reliable voice and data communications over the Iridium Certus 700 network. Utilizing Iridium’s 66-satellite constellation, it provides truly global, pole-to-pole coverage, making it ideal for vessels operating in remote or offshore waters.

—　Key Features　—

1. Multiple-User Connectivity
Supports up to 12 connected devices via Wi-Fi and LAN.

2. Built-in Wi-Fi
Embedded 802.11 b/g access point with a coverage range of up to 300 meters, providing excellent penetration performance through thick walls.

3. Voice + Data Simultaneously
Even when data is active, three dedicated VoIP voice lines remain available via an integrated SIP server.

4. High Reliability & Low Maintenance
The above-deck antenna is low-gain and omni-directional, with no moving parts, minimizing wear and maintenance.

5. VSAT Companion Mode
Includes a preferred-routing switch so it can act as a backup for VSAT systems or integrate with 4G/LTE routers.

6. Safety & Tracking
Built for GMDSS support, with location tracking via GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, etc.), system/cargo monitoring, logging, and other operational reporting.

7. User Interface
Intuitive design with LED indicators (for messages, SOS, check-in, power), and mobile apps for Android/iOS.

8. Certifications
Complies with FCC, CE, ISED, ITU, RCM, EC 60945, and RoHS.

—　Scenarios　—

VesseLINK 700 is suitable for a wide range of maritime applications.

1. Commercial Shipping & Fleets

• Enables communications for fleet-wide operations, reporting, and crew welfare.

• Can serve as a VSAT backup: when VSAT fails, VesseLINK keeps essential communications  alive.

• Useful for asset tracking, system monitoring, and on-shore coordination via the radio-gateway and location-services capabilities.
  
  

2. Offshore / Remote Vessels

• For fishing vessels, supply boats, or offshore workboats operating beyond terrestrial coverage, its global Iridium constellation coverage ensures always-on connectivity.
  
  

3. Leisure & Recreational Boats

• Ideal for yachts or cruising vessels: no moving parts, and up to 12 devices can connect via Wi-Fi.

• Useful for crew welfare (internet, voice), emergency check-ins, and tracking/logging voyage data.

4. Safety & Compliance

• Supports GMDSS when Iridium’s GMDSS service is available, offering a potentially cost-effective alternative or complement to traditional distress comms.

• Real-time vessel tracking and location-based services can support regulatory compliance and safety monitoring.
  
  

5. IoT / Telemetry

• With its ability to integrate location reporting, system status logging, and cargo or environmental sensors, the VesseLINK 200 is well-suited for telemetry use cases (e.g., monitoring fuel, temperature, engine status).
