The SeaTel Advantage

30 years ago, RJ Matthews designed a low cost stabilized satellite antenna for use on ships, which he called “SeaTel”, and set off a shipboard communications revolution. HF radio was replaced with a satellite antenna, Cruise ships began to offer TV at Sea, The US Navy established “at sea” crew telephone call centers, and ten years later SeaTel ruled the seas with over 80% of the maritime satellite market.

In answer to the growing demand for trained Electronic Technicians, SeaTel built a large Dealer Network comprised of nearly 500 companies with over 8,000 factory trained and certified Engineers and Electronic Technicians worldwide. Ask any large ship fleet operator, such as the US Navy or Carnival Cruise why they often select SeaTel over all other commercial antennas and they consistently report that it is because of the responsive global Dealer Network, availability of spare parts and long term supportability.

 SeaTel has continually reinvented the shipboard satellite industry by incorporating new technology and adapting quickly to the advances in satellite technology. Today, the SeaTel stabilized platform remains the industry De facto standard for shipboard satellite antennas. The saying “Imitation is the highest form of Flattery” certainly applies to SeaTel with numerous copy cats that have come and gone over the years.

Knockoffs might be cheaper up front, but after 29 years as a SeaTel Technician and 18 years as a SeaTel Dealer, I know that successful fleet operators tend to take the longer view. Customers know that with SeaTel you get long term commitment with spare parts availability supported by thousands of factory certified Technicians.   MIL-SAT sells only SeaTel antennas for a reason. -Comments written by Don Richardson, MIL-SAT President
