StratosNet®

Conventional Internet Service Providers typically use networks that were not designed with the needs of modern mobile satellite users in mind. Compared with today’s standard terrestrial Internet access, they tend to use unique protocols and provide relatively low satellite connection speeds. Therefore, Stratos developed StratosNet—a service that has been optimized for cost-effective Internet Services for satellite phones.

Advantages:
The flexibility of StratosNet means that you can use it with many different satellite services:

  • Inmarsat B, M, Mini-M, GAN, Fleet, RBGAN and BGAN, including the MPDS services offered on Fleet and GAN, as well as the latest Inmarsat technologies of Fleet Broadband and Swift Broadband
  • Iridium
  • MSV

Works With Any Data Speed
StratosNet is dynamically engineered to automatically match the data speed of the type of satellite phone placing the data call. StratosNet allows you to connect with ultimate efficiency, whether your sat phone is a mini-M operating at 2400 bps or a Fleet Broadband terminal with 432Kbps capability.

Optional Web Browsing
StratosNet offers Internet e-mail, web access and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) capability. However, we realize that you may not want users of your satellite phones to be able to browse the web. Therefore, Stratos give you the option of disabling web browsing on your StratosNet account.

On-the-Fly Compression of All Information Transmitted
We understand that every minute you’re connected over the satellite costs more money. To increase efficiency and minimize your connection time and costs, on-the-fly client/server compression is included as an integral part of your service. We automatically compress everything transmitted over the StratosNet link, including e-mail, attachments, web browsing and FTP transfers. Like any compression system, the amount of compression depends on the type and size of information transmitted.

WebMail
How do you access your StratosNet e-mail account when you are away from the satellite terminal? Easily. You can use any Internet service onshore and any web browser to access your StratosNet account via our WebMail service at webmail.stratosnet.com. WebMail access also allows you to configure custom e-mail filters, such as the maximum size of files that can be transmitted or received by a StratosNet mailbox, as well as black and white lists to optionally block or allow specific e-mail addresses and domains to send to the StratosNet account. If a mobile user has chosen the web browsing option, this is also a convenient way to set these parameters from the mobile side.

Pay Only For Satellite Airtime
There are no registration or monthly fees associated with use of the StratosNet service, and the software is free as well. You pay only for the satellite airtime charges incurred to connect to StratosNet, as itemized on your monthly bill.
