VSAT pricing for marine applications depends on several factors including bandwidth, coverage area, data plan (metered or unlimited), frequency band, antenna size, and service level agreement (SLA). Monthly plans may range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Entry-level packages provide basic connectivity, while premium packages offer higher speeds, global coverage, and 24/7 support. Cost optimization includes hybrid systems (VSAT + 4G) and shared bandwidth models. Understanding total cost of ownership (TCO) is crucial when budgeting for marine VSAT.
