PRESS RELEASE
Sea Tel Committed to
Giving Mariners the Freedom to
Stay Connected While at Sea
Concord, CA, October 25,
2000 - Sea Tel announced today the launch of its new site Internet-at-Sea.com. The site
will serve as a benchmark in Sea Tel's commitment to pioneering the way to affordable,
interactive Internet access for the maritime community. Sea Tel, the leader in designing
and manufacturing marine stabilized satellite antennas for vessels 26 feet and up, is
working around the clock to deliver what customers want, expect, and deserve. With
Internet-at-Sea.com, Sea Tel will give the maritime community the freedom to stay
connected.
In the same manner that Sea Tel pioneered and brought TV-at-Sea to the leisure boating
market, the company is striving to make Internet-at-Sea.com fast and affordable. Moreover
Sea Tel plans to bring the maritime community an Internet-at-Sea service that rivals what
customers have become accustomed to on land. By working with industry leading suppliers of
Ku-band satellite services, ISP Services and Internet service integrators, Sea Tel is
alpha testing its new Internet-at-Sea services, which should be available to mariners
early in 2001. The system will initially be asymmetric and will link DBS or FSS high-speed
data downloads with up-link (often called "back-haul') services provided by
GlobalStar, Mini-M Inmarsat or MSAT. The power and coverage area of the satellite will
determine the size of the antenna required. The objective is to provide unlimited
high-speed Internet services to mariners at an acceptable monthly cost.
Customers who are interested in receiving affordable, high speed Internet access on their
boats can keep abreast of the latest developments by visiting www.internet-at-sea.com, and can be assured that
Sea Tel will deliver a viable product to them in the near future.
Sea Tel has installed over 18,000 operating systems around the globe and is the world's
leading manufacturer of marine stabilized antenna systems for satellite communications and
satellite television at sea. Sea Tel markets its products globally and has a responsive
worldwide service support network. With dishes ranging from 13 inches to 12 feet in
diameter, Sea Tel provides all types and sizes of private, commercial, and Navy vessels
with the right antenna system for their applications of satellite communications and
satellite TV-at-Sea.
