Overview
For people who need Internet access in a vehicle with similar functionality to what they’d expect at home or at work, the Alden Netmaster 90 offers just that. Developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency, this system gives reliable web access in almost every part of Europe and beyond. See the footprint map below.
Based on Alden’s 90cm "Platinum" satellite TV system, the Netmaster is simple to operate and can also be used to receive TV signals, although not at the same time. Additional hardware consists of a special 2-way LNB outside and a specially designed modem on the inside of the vehicle.
Download speeds of up to 1024 Kb/s enable the use of VOIP phones and, with additional hardware, it’s even possible to watch TV via the Internet. See the pdf document "Slingbox" at the bottom of the specifications table.
40 days access (which can be used at any time during the course of a year) is included with the system and various access packages are available to suit both occasional users and full-timers.

Although the IPcopter network is designed to make efficient use of the satellite bandwidth, additional rules are implemented to provide a real broadband experience for most of the users. The bandwidth is always equally shared between all users of the same type of service and this means that a minority of users cannot block the service for the majority of the users. Especially in peak times, some bandwidth-consuming applications are shaped in order to keep the overall service quality, e.g. peer to peer applications including Skype, heavy download activities and video streaming. This does not mean that those applications won´t work but speed and quality might be reduced |
