1. Overview
Welcome to Wired Ocean.
We are dedicated to providing you
with a high quality, easy to use service. We have an ongoing
programme to improve the operation of our services and to make
these improvements available to you through automatic downloads to
your S-Box. Any feedback you wish to provide to us is appreciated.
1.1 How the Wired Ocean System Works
The S-Box (Satellite Broadband Server or S-Box) enables all of the
networked computers on board your vessel to connect with a high
speed internet access via one of Wired Ocean’s satellite broadband
services. It enables fast and cost effective access to web pages,
email and other services normally available on the internet. The
characteristics of the service you receive will vary according to the
Wired Ocean service(s) you have subscribed to.
The S-Box receives high speed internet data (DVB downlink) such as
web pages, incoming email, etc through the television receive only
antenna (TVRO) on your vessel. The TVRO must be pointed towards
one of the satellites that provide the Wired Ocean downlink services.
These satellites have a wide variety of television programming which
can be viewed at the same time as using the Wired Ocean service.
