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 fingertips.

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 benefits
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 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, finding 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 offering, allowing for an easy installation as only a single coax
cable is used between antenna and terminal.

Applications
The JRC JUE-500 supports an extensive
range of commercially available, off-
ISDN the-shelf software, as well as specialised
Handset user applications. It is ideal for:
