The IP-MobileCast Layer
• IP-MobileCast doesn’t harm or compete with vessel’s Internet
or VoIP services
– Beam capacity is sized for peak loads, leaving about half the network capacity unused – Multicast data is transmitted in unused bandwidth, at a lower priority than
standard IP traffic
– Multicasting does not use your mini-VSAT Broadband plan’s data allotment
