VoIP Service for Marine Satellite Users

VoIP service is well-documented as an affordable, reliable way to communicate over broadband DSL and cable modem lines. But the solutions that work onshore don’t work well on the water. Satellite broadband networks face high-latency, lower bandwidth and jitter issues that make off-the-rack VoIP routers unreliable if they work at all.
RedPort VoIP is designed from the ground up for the special requirements of satellite broadband networks to give your organization the very best of VoIP over satellite at sea. Everything we do is optimized for satellite. Low-bandwidth requirements of only 6KBps ensure your better quality of service and throughput, while providing excellent voice quality and low airtime charges.
RedPort VoIP routers are designed for ship’s environments to accommodate the high-vibration, salt-air, and punishing situations at sea.

More Quality, Less Data

How does RedPort VoIP give crystal-clear voice quality while using only 1MB of data per 20 minutes of talk time? It's the codecs. Most VoIP solutions are designed for the world of terrestrial broadband. If your solution provider is suggesting that you use an off the rack VoIP router designed for use with standard broadband networks, then you may be headed down the path toward poor voice quality, dropped calls, huge data demands and a poor overall experience.
RedPort satellite VoIP phone service is powered by Vobal Technologies to meet the demands of marine satellite Internet users, and ensure clear connections while using only 6kbps.
