We have newer Cellular and WiFi Hotspot Access Sharing Systems for Yachts! We also have installation (and remote installation support) services. We consult on multiple Internet Services (and the ability to switch between them) on Sail and Motor Yachts.

There are several ways to access the Internet and provide onboard (shared, multiple computers) access in the marine environment. This includes motor yachts of all sizes. Many vessel owners and/or captains are looking for additional options to satellite Internet access.
WiFi Access is described as a two-way power-amplified system that can be shared access onboard to a network. Alan Spicer Marine Telecom and Company have been installing Power Amplified 802.11 B and G WiFi access systems on Motor Yachts. Using industrial 2.4Ghz ISM (FCC Part 15) equipment for amplifiers and Omni-Directional Marine Antennas from local manufacturers and distributors we are able to install these systems on marine yacht environments to add to and enhance their Internet Access. The system is integrated with existing onboard wired and/or wireless network and is routed so that all computers onboard can use it. This gives yachts another choice in Internet Access. When in range of WiFi Hotspots (or Cellular Broadband), such as provided in many Marinas and Ship Yards they can use Broadband High Speed Internet Access. When they are underway and not in range of such access they can switch back to their underway Satellite system.
We also install similar systems for Cellular Broadband (Cingular, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon) Internet Access. The two can be installed in one project if desired. Cellular provides 300 - 500Kbps (half a Megabit Per Second) up to 2000Mbps (2 Megabits Per Second) peak speed Internet Access. Cellular Internet costs around $70.00/mo. to $80.00/mo.
You'll get things done on the Internet a whole lot faster with these faster speed systems and services.
We can also hook you up for Broadband Phone with Vonage (or Skype) Note: Skype does not provide 911 (E911) capability.
