About Us
Vobal Technologies leverages more than 15 years of expertise in VoIP services to deliver high quality, low-cost, and secure VoIP technology and customized mobile network base stations for ships at sea. We implement a leading-edge VoIP/GSM architecture based upon our extensive experience in many of the world's most technically challenging operating environments.
Vobal's technology has enabled dozens of leading wireless carriers, broadband service providers, and satellite communications companies to offer powerful, differentiated VoIP enabled services while improving subscriber profitability. The ease of installing CargoGSM has allowed vessel crew to quickly deploy a mobile phone network, which also readily supports charter vessels.
Vobal Technologies' team has built a reputation as a global leader in the development and delivery of these low cost, high quality solutions. As of Q4 2023, Vobal's solutions have carried more than two million minutes of phone calls originated on L-band and VSAT satellite terminals at sea, including services for more than 50,000 mobile handsets and 150,000 refrigerated containers in international waters. Customers have installed more than 150 S3 BTS, CargoGSM, and S2 VoIP servers on a range of vessels from small cruise ships to large container ships.
Refrigerated containers are monitored at sea on container ships sizes that include ~24K TEU, New Panamax, as well as unmanned ocean-going barges pulled by tugs. The initial CargoGSM systems have exceeded more than 7 years of continuous operation. New deployments starting in 2023 have also leveraged maritime Starlink to support high-bandwidth and low-latency connectivity.
