The FX 150 is a high performance satellite communication terminal with the salient features:

• 3-Axis Stabilised Antenna including ATC-Resilience, Extended L-Band and IP56 Protection capability.
• No Fuses – Uses Intelligent Circuit Breaker protection
• Primary Handset with IP66 Environmental Protection (for voice, SMS & terminal configuration)

The FX 150 includes a primary handset with a large colour LCD display and mobile phone type keys for making/receivingphone calls, making selective terminal configuration changes, sending and receiving SMS messages, including larger SMS content of greater than 160 characters as multipart or segmented messages. This feature is popular for the Captain and the crew members who are used to texting from their mobile phones while on shore.

The FX 150 can act as a WAN connection to any onboard computer network (LAN) by simply connecting the unit to the onboard LAN and making all the devices attached to the LAN accessible to the Internet by means of Multi-User Router Mode. Moreover, it also supports Single User Mode (Modem/Direct mode) and PPPoE, giving more network connection options for end users to choose from. The MAC Filtering feature provides a strong security option by providing access rights only to selected devices based on their MAC addresses. A Firewall option complements the security options by not only blocking unauthorized remote access but also blocks unwanted data traffic thus saving unwanted air-time costs.

The FleetBroadband terminal has a continuous GPS output feature which allows GPS data to be sent out via the RS232 port in standard NMEA 0183 format. With the built-in GPS module, the FX 150 is able to provide accurate position information to onboard systems such as plotters and depth sounders, with a configurable baud-rate setting.
