The invention relates to a shipborne communication
system and method capable of saving the bandwidth of a ship-side
satellite, a user login interface is integrated on a ship-side VSAT controller, and when a user terminal and a third-party APP on the user terminal access
the Internet, a local
authentication module sends the user login interface to the user terminal and the third-party APP on the user terminal; a network operator is prevented from occupying a
satellite bandwidth to send and obtain a user login interface, so that the
satellite bandwidth pressure is reduced, and invalid traffic is prevented from being generated; after the user terminal inputs an account and a
password and triggers an
authentication function, the account and the
password are authenticated through the
authentication and
authorization module, so that the equipment cost and the management cost of the ship-end VSAT controller are reduced; and the authentication control module is adopted to control the network access authority of the user terminal based on the authentication result, so that the user terminal which does not pass the authentication is prevented from occupying the satellite bandwidth to access
the Internet, the pressure of the satellite bandwidth and the generation of invalid traffic are further reduced, and
the Internet surfing experience of the ship-
end user is improved.
