Quick Overview
Global Dual-mode Antenna System with Seamless C/Ku-band Coverage and Easy Onboard Networking is Ideal for World Voyaging Yachts
TracPhone® V11-IP uses one compact 1.1 meter (42.5 inch) diameter antenna to effortlessly access the C- and Ku-band satellites of the world’s No. 1 maritime VSAT network – mini-VSAT Broadband. It seamlessly switches between the services, automatically locking onto Ku-band service in most parts of the world, and immediately switching to C-band service when Ku-band service is unavailable because of geography or extreme weather. Providing truly global coverage, the TracPhone V11-IP ensures always-on broadband connectivity so owners, guests, and crew stay connected no matter where they are cruising.
- Installation is faster and less costly thanks to the breakthrough design – 85% smaller by volume and lighter than C-band VSATs
- Fast data speeds – up to 4 Mbps shore-to-ship/1 Mbps ship-to-shore
- Choice of unrestricted, fixed, or metered plans for affordable airtime
- Airtime activation faster than competitors
Built-in Network Management Simplifies Onboard Life
TracPhone V11-IP’s Integrated CommBox Modem (ICM) is an extremely streamlined belowdecks unit designed for reliability and ease of use. Enclosed in a single box just 2U high, the ICM includes:

- CommBox™ Network Manager for managing access to onboard Internet and e-mail
