Motoryacht MUSASHI

During sea trials once under way I ran some basic speed tests using Ookla.

Musashi 1 (PS) connected to the US datacentre hit a max speed of 90mbps down at approximately 15nm from the closest point of land.

Musashi 2 (SB) connected to the UK datacentre hit a max download speed of 222mbps at approximately the same range!

In reality of course it’s much further because they are connecting to cell towers further inland.

Motoryacht APOSTROPHE

2020: Conference calls became more important than ever, and our Pepwave connection dropping out, Zoom conference calls constantly stalled. I found Meridian’s DOME, the concept made a lot of sense, and it delivered more than expected.

We had coverage in Albania at 75km away from the nearest tower (we were still connected to Wind in Italy) and got 50 Mbps down. I am more than impressed and highly recommend their product and service (they have exceptional service and support).

Motoryacht NOMAD

M/Y NOMAD installed the Panel Version of our 5G DOME Router in their STB dome. Installing the Panel Version is the easiest and most common way of installation as in only takes a couple of hours. Oceanfast, 70m

Motoryacht RAGNAR

The explorer yacht M/Y Ragnar installed our X4 DOME Panel Version route inside their VSAT dome ahead of its presentation at the Monaco yacht week and made available for charter. 4G and upcoming 5G is a very important point when it comes to choosing a yacht for charter. Royal Niestern Sander,68m

Motoryacht LADY JADE

M/Y Lady Jade installed our 5G DOME router in Sardinia early July. The yacht doesn’t use VSAT and relies solely on our system. The yacht reported they had coverage 46,3 NM offshore which was good enough for emails and file downloads. Inace, 40m

Motoryacht LADY JADE

Quick and easy installation. My guests do a lot of video calls, video streaming and have had no problems with buffering.

Range offshore – the maximum distance was 46,3 NM, it was good enough for emails, grab files download, etc … we do not use VSAT.

We also subscribe to Meridian’s bonding and support package. Service is why I use Meridian in the first place and they never let me down.
