Engineering Integration Services
Stratos Broadband Networks' team of experienced engineers, technical designers and project managers are recognized as leaders in Wireless RF technology design and implementation.
GSM Oceanwide™
GSM Oceanwide is ideally suited as a crew-calling solution, enabling users to receive and place calls and send SMS messages via their own GSM number. The service also provides reliable voice connectivity, enabling ship managers to quickly contact merchant maritime officers.
mini-M Prepaid Airtime
In many circumstances, owners of satellite phones prefer prepaid airtime over monthly airtime invoices because it limits airtime billing exposure. In those cases, mini-M Prepaid Airtime from Stratos is the perfect solution.
Prepaid Messaging
Stratos Prepaid Messaging is the ideal way for private users and small businesses to send messages to Inmarsat C mobiles, eliminating the hassle of paying relatively small monthly invoices. As a Prepaid Messaging subscriber, you can send text messages from any e-mail address or SMS from GSM phones. All you need is an identification number, called an XPnumber (Stratos Prepaid Number).
Stratos 2-Stage Access
Stratos 2-Stage Access is a fixed-to-mobile voice service that is ideal for keeping an eye on your satellite communication costs. With Stratos 2-Stage Access, accounting is streamlined so that all your calls appear on a single monthly invoice, which simplifies social calls, crew calling, and business accounts.
StratosConsole™
StratosConsole is a web-based monitoring system that allows customers to proactively monitor the status of their remote sites 24/7. An enhanced SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) tool, StratosConsole allows clients, from any web browser, to measure, record, and monitor the performance of traffic flowing through various active devices at a remote site. These devices typically include modems, routers, switches, and other terminal equipment. StratosConsole is available globally for all Microwave, VSAT and StratosMax services.
Stratos Dashboard™
Stratos Dashboard offers a full range of cost and traffic control capabilities to manage your BGAN, R-BGAN, FleetBroadband, SwiftBroadband, Inmarsat Satellite Phone Services and Iridium® services, through a convenient, web-based portal.
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.
Stratos NettedVoice
Stratos NettedVoice is a groundbreaking new solution for use over Inmarsat satellite services available exclusively from Stratos. Stratos NettedVoice is a unique offering that enables you to talk instantly to pre-defined groups of users with a single button press, regardless of global location or whether the users be land, sea or air based.

StratosOceanView™
Stratos OceanView is a powerful application for fleet managers that allows them to manage their fleet in an easy-to-use web-based portal. It provides customers with global fleet communication monitoring and vessel tracking based on Inmarsat-C DNID.
StratosTaB™
Stratos Traffic and Billing Explorer (StratosTaB) allows you to monitor your Stratos traffic in great detail, both in terms of use (seconds, bits) and cost (US$ or AUS$). TaB also gives you a flexible way to price your traffic for internal cost control or rebilling purposes.
