Tuesday, 29 September 2009
Furuno Electric has announce that its new, Ku-band VSAT antenna for satellite-based maritime broadband communications will be introduced in the first quarter of 2010. This development is brought about through close technical collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, according to a prepared statement.

According to Furuno, its new VSAT antenna facilitates constant satellite tracking regardless of ship’s motion. Also, in case of communication failure, the company’s worldwide service network will be there to back up the customers and fix the problems.
