RedPort Optimizer Premier
Satellite Data, VoIP, Wi-FI, and GSM With Failover
Optimizer Premier is a VoIP gateway and data router that provides an all-in-one solution for vessels looking to get the most out of all available data connections.
Optimizer Premier automatically selects among available data connections, including long-range cellular, Wi-Fi, and all satellite broadband services including VSAT, Inmarsat FleetBroadband and Iridium OpenPort. Optimizer Premier also lets users optimize data usage with onboard email and web compression services, and manage access for passengers and crew with an included captive portal.
Optimizer Premier Features
Optimizer Premier features include:
- Automatically selects among available data connections to choose the lowest-cost or preferred available data service
- Captive Portal to control passenger and crew access via username or PIN codes
- Router/Wi-Fi hotspot: Broadcasts the data connection via Ethernet or Wi-Fi for use with Wi-Fi enabled smartphones, tablets and computers.
- Firewall: A powerful firewall accommodates virtually any common installation scenario, with features including block or allow any range of port, IP addresses and protocols.
- GPS Tracking: Works with any GSATrack-based service (including RedPort Tracking), the world’s most widely used satellite GPS tracking service.
- NMEA GPS Repeater: Locally broadcast your GPS location via Wi-Fi for access by any NMEA compliant device
- Long-range Wi-Fi compatibility, with the optional RedPort Halo Wi-Fi system, or other compatible third-party Wi-Fi systems
Optimizer Premier For Data
Because Optimizer Premier also re-broadcasts available compatible GSM and long-range Wi-Fi signals, its powerful data controls (including PIN-codes!) can be used with networks other than the primary satellite connections.
Optimizer Premier for VoIP
Unlike traditional satellite airtime plans where only one outgoing call can be made at a time, Optimizer Premier allows for 4 simultaneous outgoing calls over most satellite broadband terminals.
Optimizer Premier's Raison d'Etre: Automatic Failover
Optimizer Premier has ports for up to 2 satellite connections, in addition to GSM and long-range Wi-Fi, so failover can be configured to balance between two different satellite connections.
Best of all? You can configure load-balancing and least-cost routing between the failover options, so you can always be assured to keep your data usage in check and under control.
Features and Services
Automatic Failover |
With automatic failover configured, Optimizer Premier will automatically switch between available networks to give you the fastest, cheapest connectivity available to you at that time. Optimizer Premier also offers full-featured load-balancing and least-cost routing to keep your airtime costs under your control. |
VoIP to Circuit Switch |
The Optimizer Premier includes VoIP to circuit-switch conversion, which means that you can pick up your cellphone and - using the free XGate Phone app - make and receive traditional satellite phone calls with your smartphone, instead of plugging into the satellite terminal itself. |
VoIP Service $ |
Using RedPort VoIP service means that you can make VoIP calls over your satellite terminal using some of the most advanced and sophisticated compression rates on the planet. At 15 minutes of talk time per MB of data use and very low termination rates, RedPort VoIP service provides significant discounts over traditional satellite airtime as well as the ability to create and use prepaid VoIP calling cards for crew, work teams, or guests. |
Routing and Logging |
Create and manage even the most complex networks with enterprise-grade features. Experienced networking professionals will find every necessary feature to configure networks as desired. |
Firewall & Filtering |

Remote Access |
Remotely log-in and manage your local network from any Internet connection. |
Web Compression $ |
Transparent proxy service can automatically reduce https data consumption by a factor of 3-5 times, saving on valuable airtime, and accelerating limited satellite data speeds. |
Captive Portal |
Manage and control crew, passenger and operational data access by user or PIN code across fleets with Optimizer Premier's integrated captive portal. |
Satellite Email $ |
RedPort routers include a full POP/SMTP RedPort Mail server. Users can access email via a local web page or by simply entering settings into their preferred email client (such as Outlook or Apple Mail) with up to 20 times acceleration, making RedPort XGate mail the premier choice for satellite email service. |
GPS Tracking $ |
Reliably track vehicles or vessels anywhere in the world. Tracking your assets is now as simple as clicking your mouse and viewing them online. RedPort Tracking offers online maps that display exact location and offer advanced features like geo-fencing. |
$ = Premium Service. Monthly Fees May Apply.
