Yes. iFleetONE supports internet services such as email at a data speed of up to 150kbps, which is by far the highest data speed among the NOAA VMS approved terminals in the market. At such a data speed, users can send and receive emails whether for personal or company matters using their Laptop / Smart Phone / Smart Tablet connected via WiFi or Ethernet. In other words, you may send/receive emails using your personal and/or corporate emails to/from anyone, with or without any attachment(s).
To have any internet data services via iFleetONE, the user will need to activate the user data session and to deactivate it after use in order to avoid any unwanted background data that may pass through and incur airtime charges unintentionally.
Alternatively, the user may set the user data session permanently on standby mode by configuring the iFleetONE to be “Always ON” (Refer to User Guide for the configuration steps).
All data sessions except NOAA’s VMS data services will incur separate satellite airtime cost. Please contact our Service Partners for the applicable airtime charges.
It is advisable that you activate the Firewall function built in the iFleetONE, where possible, with the support of your IT personnel to filter out and block any unwanted outbound and inbound data traffic.
It is also recommended that users also install an authorised data optimizer such as the Pivotel Optimizer to compress data and save airtime cost.
