Stratos Gets Crabby With Fleetbroadband.
Stratos Global Corporation has now successfully deployed the Inmarsat FleetBroadband 500 broadband satellite service for Sig Hansen, the renowned Seattle-based captain of the crab fishing vessel Northwestern.
Recebtky, Capt. Hansen has been prominently featured in a popular documentary television series for which he also serves as technical production advisor. The Emmy-nominated series captures the dangers, adventures and disasters of a fleet of crab-fishing boats on the icy Bering Sea.
FleetBroadband from Stratos delivers cost-effective, high-speed data and voice communications, available simultaneously, at speeds up to 432kpbs. Capt. Hansen has successfully integrated FleetBroadband from Stratos with AmosConnect Crew from Stratos to manage all email, fax, and SMS communications. The new system enables Capt. Hansen and his crew to effectively manage office applications, upload images to their families, and upload video to the vessel’s website.
