That’s why we offer the GlobalCare Premium Support Program for TracPhone V7-IP customers. Starting with 24/7/365 dedicated hotline numbers to the GlobalCare Center, and using a tiered service support system worldwide, GlobalCare guarantees your business a new level of support and responsiveness should you experience a technical issue.

TracPhone V7-IP’s new ICM belowdecks unit will serve as the hub for receiving IP-MobileCast services on subscribing vessels; content can then be accessed by any onboard computer, set top box, or media player.

• Iridium Pilot Optional Backup

• Available for active mini-VSAT Broadband accounts, Iridium Pilot can be added as a secondary system providing pole-to-pole global coverage for data and voice. The Iridium Pilot hardware must be purchased in addition to selecting an Iridium OpenPort airtime plan. With Iridium Pilot onboard and interfaced with V7-IP for least cost routing, the vessel’s LAN and Wi-Fi networks will automatically switch from TracPhone V7-IP/mini-VSAT Broadband service to Iridium Pilot/Iridium OpenPort service when needed.
