Since FleetBroadband's introduction in 2007, Stratos has accounted for 60 percent of the more than 7,600 FleetBroadband units deployed on vessels of all types and sizes. This market-share leadership is due in large part to the recognized value of Stratos Dashboard for FleetBroadband.  
With Stratos Dashboard, usage of FleetBroadband can be controlled on a variety of access levels, including service group and individual officer or crew member. For controlled Internet access, Stratos Dashboard includes a firewall which can be managed fleetwide online by the shipmanager. For monitoring traffic and usage, Stratos Dashboard includes a credit control tool for: creating credit-control groups; assigning credit to SIM cards; setting alert thresholds; and sending out alert messages. Stratos Dashboard contains all traffic types, including background IP, voice, SMS, ISDN and streaming.  
The latest version of Stratos Dashboard, includes a new suspend option known as Suspend Data. This functionality can be activated manually or as part of the application's Credit Control and High Volume Usage Metering features. Stratos Dashboard users now have the option to suspend only the data portion of their service - or resume all services other than data.
