What is Bonding?

• Bonding is a method of sharing internet traffic between several internet sources. When the MDS Blender has multiple internet sources, internet traffic is split among those sources so that it increases the overall speed of the internet traffic. This additional speed is critical on large networks when video conferencing, streaming entertainment, and transferring large files. In addition to increasing system speeds, bonding will decrease your chances of internet downtime due to losing one of your multiple internet connections.

How can I connect the 2 Starlink Maritime antennas together to make a single network?

• Marine Data Solutions Blender can easily connect up to 4 different internet sources, and bond them all together for greater speeds on a single network output.

Can I connect the 2 Starlink Maritime antennas and 1 Starlink RV antenna on the same network?

• The Marine Data Solutions Blender will accept up to 4 internet inputs, and bond those 4 inputs together for the greatest speeds, and increased reliability. Yes, you could connect up to 4 Starlink systems together.

Why would we want to bond Starlink Maritime with 5G?

• Starlink satellites are always moving, and the Starlink satellite constellation is currently only at 10%. Because the system is so new, there are many times per day when the Starlink satellites are just NOT in view. When there is no Starlink Maritime satellite in view, your vessel network will NOT have any internet (this situation usually happens several times per hour, look at “Statistic” and then “Outages” on your Starlink App) When Starlink Maritime service stops, your VoIP calls, cloud applications, and secure web sites will cut off. To eliminate these Starlink internet service interruptions, the Marine Data Solutions Blender bonds the Starlink internet with 5G internet, so that the vessel network only experiences a slow down when Starlink signal is lost, rather than a complete internet “stoppage”, when Starlink internet signal is lost. Not only will bonding the systems together eliminate internet loss, it will also increase the system speed by combining them together. (when both systems are working)

How difficult is it to install the Marine Data Solutions Blender?

• Marine Data Solutions Blender is preprogrammed for your system when it arrives. Connect the network cables from your available sources, and then connect the Blender output to your vessel network. Add ships power to the blender and the install is complete, no on site programing is required.

Can I combine my Viasat system with Starlink?

• The Marine Data Solutions Blender will allow you to combine Viasat and other legacy Vsat systems with Starlink and 5G. However the 5-600ms latency of Viasat and Vsat will be introduced into the whole system. The Viasat will add more speed, but Viasat will also add more system latency to the output of the Marine Data Solutions Blender.

Mrs. Frain's Blender Testimonial

I am Tami, the proud owner of Romeo Foxtrot – a 116 Hargrave. We took delivery of Romeo Foxtrot in January, and I couldn't be more excited. The MDS Blender has genuinely opened my eyes to a whole new world of boating. I am now able to reliably work remotely without missing a day at the office. People at the office are unaware that I'm not present physically; they assume I'm working from home. This allows me to enjoy my ocean time discreetly. We had our grandchildren on board, during a trip to West End in the Bahamas, the kids were occupied with watching Coco Melon repeatedly while we were in transit. This streaming TV demand placed a lot on the Wi-Fi system. Nonetheless, everything worked great, and the kids stayed content, and we were able to utilize the Wi-Fi for work, at the same time. We also charter the boat, and I am confident that charter guests will also experience seamless connectivity, allowing them to remain connected to their work. While vacations are great, maintaining connectivity is crucial for many. The MDS Blender has impressed me; I am thoroughly pleased with its performance. It has opened my eyes and granted me the flexibility to work while on the boat, which wasn't feasible before. My husband always wanted to go boating, but I would decline due to work commitments. Now, I can work effectively both at home and on the boat, making it incredibly convenient. This experience has introduced me to an entirely new world of possibilities.

Michael and Captain Doug Talk about the MDS Blender

Today, we're discussing the MDS Bender. This is quite significant news, folks. Let me explain what the MDS Blender is. Marine Data Solutions has introduced the MDS Blender. It combines up to four separate internet inputs, such as two Starlink connections and two 5G inputs, to create a seamless internet experience. These four sources are blended together using bonding, resulting in increased speed.
Wait a moment.
So, if you have Starlink and encounter issues like dropped connections, you run these connections through the system you've developed, alongside Marine Data, and the movie streaming remains uninterrupted? That's correct. Movies keep playing.
I just talked about how Mr. Cinema will permit First Run movies on Mega Yachts that are chartered.
That's fantastic. With your equipment, movies won't pause? Exactly, they won't. When you consolidate all these elements in your device, does it enhance the speed? Yes, it does. There's around a 15% speed loss when you combine them, but the advantage is that if one of the four inputs encounters an issue and stops transmitting data, the other three will continue, ensuring continuous internet access for your devices.
Consider a scenario where I'm on Marine data while crossing the Bahamas, and I lose signal. Starlink takes over. Your equipment does this instantaneously, so I won't even notice? Exactly, you won't even realize it. Even if Starlink experiences slowdowns, Marine data takes over? Yes, the SIM cards then activate to provide internet. If for some reason Starlink fails.
This is groundbreaking technology. I understand that marine electronics progress rapidly, but I didn't anticipate this development. This is a no-brainer. We invest millions to ensure phone connectivity on yachts in the ocean, yet this addresses all these issues. I'm not just hyping this up; it's genuinely significant. It's quite impressive, and your company offers this solution? Absolutely, we have them in stock and ready to go. Most boats are already equipped with 5G and have Starlink, so we simply integrate them for an improved experience.
I visited the booth and picked up some of these wallets. It's not money, what is it? Actually, those are SIM cards. You call us to activate them. I want your attention on this, as SIM cards frequently require adjustments. When you partner with Marine Data, you receive this wallet, containing SIM cards for various locations. When I'm in a specific area, I call you and provide the number, and you activate it. Yes. Technically speaking, this development is groundbreaking. It resolves connectivity issues with Starlink and the internet. We all know that if the crew lacks internet access, they become quite frustrated. So, thank you for addressing this. No problem, you're welcome.
Thanks for your time, and it's been informative.
