The most comprehensive solution for cost-effective voice communication over satellite
High bandwidth satellite connections remain limited and expensive. Horizon is an entirely new patent-pending technology offering all the features and benefits of a Voice over IP (VoIP) connection while minimizing the amount of satellite bandwidth you are consuming. The built-in SmartPacketTM technology makes the ultra-efficient Horizon communication solution the ideal way to manage your voice communications over satellite. Horizon’s optimized plug and play configuration allows access to more simultaneous voice connections over standard IP networks than any other system currently available.
Horizon can improve your satellite voice communication in three important ways:
- HorizonOut: With a Horizon unit on your vessels, they can make calls to the office or other landlines that are sharply less than what you are presently paying;
- Horizon Dial in Direct (DID): OCENS can set up a DID number for your outgoing office calls. Calls to this local number will be routed through the Global Exchange Network in which OCENS participates to the Horizon unit with which it is linked. This bridging lowers your shore-to-ship calling costs to rates on par with the HorizonOut numbers your ship-to-shore comms are enjoying.
- Horizon to Horizon: The lowest possible voice rates occur when one Horizon unit is calling another. These calls between Horizon units avoid any use of the traditional PSTN networks. Consequently, these purely VOIP to VOIP calls occur at rates that are simply unprecedented in the world of satellite broadband.
Benefits:
- Ultra-Low Bit Rate Codec – minimizes bandwidth consumption
- Ease of Use --- simple and intuitive call-dialing
- Real-Time --- Instant communication without the lag which plagues some satellite communications
- Cost Control --- Monitoring tools avoid unpredictable usage and allow you to track usage history
- Security --- Pin protection and lockdown features prevent unauthorized usage
Components:
- Horizon MultiVoIP Unit is the hardware component that is installed on your vessel. The plug-and-play unit can perform eight simultaneous calls over a standard satellite IP network. The unit is simple to install by just connecting it to the Ethernet port of your Fleet Broadband, BGAN or OpenPort.
- HorizonOut provides external termination services to any destination in the world. Horizon users can take advantage of HorizonOut for low cost PSTN rates and high quality calls.
- Horizon Licenses provide flexible subscription options to meet the needs of any customer. Whether you want access to prepaid or postpaid calling, there is something to suit everyone.
- Horizon Lite application allows Horizon postpaid and prepaid users to chat and enables peer-to-peer calling with the office or invited friends and family.
