Brochure
Features
The JUE-250, a pioneering next-generation satellite communication terminal, delivers the most advanced maritime service available, fully contributing to the operational efficiency of vessel and crew.
Meet the Challenges with FleetBroadband
FleetBroadband gives you faster, more cost-effective access to broadband services, offering seafarers an affordable voice and data option, while providing your vessel with a coverage area of millions of square miles. It is more powerful than any other solution on the market, allowing you to have the capability to reach peak performance and gain a competitive edge.
Simultaneous Access
This next-generation solution offers an unparalleled range of services to suit all types and tonnages of vessels. The service provides simultaneous voice and broadband data through a compact antenna, allowing you to run online operation systems, whilst still having access to email, intranet and voice calls – a significant improvement to both operational and social use.
Cost-Effective Service
With FleetBroadband, performance and flexibility do not come at a high price. Existing JRC Fleet 33 customers can utilise our dedicated upgrade path™ to make global voice and broadband data more accessible than ever before. You will achieve greater operational efficiencies and significantly reduce the cost of both business and crew communications.
Optimal Connectivity
Enhanced connectivity, based on 3G standards, provides constant, simultaneous access to voice and high-speed data in a compact solution, designed specifically for the marine environment. Standard IP for email, internet and intranet access via a secure VPN connection, at speeds up to 284 kbps and streaming IP guaranteed data rates up to 128 kbps.
Upgrade Path™
One of the most innovative and useful aspects of the new JUE-250 FleetBroadband FB250 for existing JRC customers will be the ability to re-use parts of the communications system in place when upgrading to FleetBroadband. Existing users with an JUE-33 Fleet 33 installed onboard need only replace the below deck unit to upgrade to the FB250 - keeping the same antenna and same cabling that is already installed on the vessel.This unique, cost-effective feature will provide a seamless transition – all via a single main unit upgrade.
Flexible Interfacing
JRC’s JUE-250 terminal has been developed for maximum flexibility. It features a reliable industry standard interfacing field that can be integrated with navigational equipment. No gyro or GPS input is required and by having JRC’s proven no cable unwrap system integrated, operational efficiency is guaranteed. This below deck unit enables users to have optimal connectivity no matter what the conditions or your position at sea.
Total System Flexibility
JRC’s JUE-250 is a dedicated compact solution, which shares the same simple configuration as the JUE-33 Fleet 33, allowing for an easy setup. This concept also reduces the installation costs as only a single coax cable will be used between the antenna and the below deck unit. This next-generation service is for the new-build and retrofit markets and is available as a full system or an upgrade path™. It is also possible to connect your own supplied hardware, such as a computer and fax.
JRC and Inmarsat, Strong Together
Inmarsat has been the leading communication provider of satellite services for nearly 30 years, playing an integral role in the lives of seafarers. The Inmarsat Fleet services and JRC terminals have become the standard for deep-sea ships. Now, Inmarsat enhances its maritime portfolio with the launch of FleetBroadband and together with JRC’s next-generation solution we can deliver reliable communications and safety services, contributing to the operational efficiency of vessel and crew.

WHO'S IT FOR?
The JUE-250 FleetBroadband FB250 terminal is the latest in a long line of Inmarsat maritime products from Japan Radio Company (JRC). JRC has a rich heritage in maritime satellite communications, dating back to the world's first Marisat terminal (JUE-5A) in 1975, followed by a successful history through the Inmarsat alphabet.
In keeping pace with the internet revolution, this newest member of JRC’s highly successful Fleet family products, the JUE-250 FleetBroadband FB250 has the potential to alter the way mariners and vessels communicate, just as terrestrial broadband has changed the way people use the internet.
Backed by the power of Inmarsat’s satellites, the JUE-250 combines the reliability of Fleet with a range of new features that make it unique in the sector. For the first time users can make voice calls while simultaneously maintaining one or more high-speed data connections, providing a significant improvement in both operational efficiency and the convenience of officers and crew.
By integrating the JUE-250 onboard, a captain would be able to use FleetBroadband to talk to his port agent while simultaneously perform a host of other duties, from updating weather information, route planning to maintaining the crew morale by enabling them to call and email with family and loved ones or to browse the internet – a degree of flexibility never before possible.
In addition, it allows users to send and receive text 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.
Fishing vessels are often the first to adopt advanced new marine electronics. Life at sea revolves around the weather and how big the catch will be. Needless to say getting the best possible price can mean the difference between making a profit or not when a catch is landed, thus vital for the fisherman is viewing the latest fish market prices online, call or send digital images of the catch to onshore agents allows them to estimate fish quality and value – all before getting back to port.
Vessels will be effectively transformed into a broadband floating office, with simultaneous access to voice and high-speed data, along with fax and SMS capabilities, providing crew with an enhanced quality of life which in turn delivers a positive impact on staff retention and acquisition.
With the new JUE-250 FleetBroadband FB250, JRC is able to meet the demanding requirements – whether to support crew communications, or to explore new ways of working and enhance operational efficiency, and all in a highly cost-effective manner.
