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.
In recent years, 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 pictures to their families, and upload video to the vessel’s website.

Stratos Global Corporation has expanded its line of Stratos MobileLink fixed-to-mobile calling services. Each of the three Stratos MobileLink services help consumers avoid high tariffs charged by local telephone companies. The services enable fast, affordable connectivity from fixed locations to Inmarsat and Iridium mobile satellite terminals.
Stratos MobileLink services support all satellite phone solutions offered by Stratos operating in any marine, aeronautical, or remote land-based environment. Stratos MobileLink services deliver an effective voice solution in countries where the local telephone operator cannot access the Inmarsat or Iridium satellite network, or in areas where direct dialing is prohibitively expensive. For the maritime market, Stratos MobileLink services can help shipping companies reducing shore-to-ship calling costs by as much as 50 percent.
The newest of the three services, Stratos MobileLink Easy, is ideally suited for companies that may dial a single satellite phone or group of phones on a regular basis. It enables the company to dial a predefined landline number to connect directly with the satellite terminal.
Stratos MobileLink Secure (formerly known as Stratos MobileLink) offers an additional layer of protection against unauthorized usage. It enables the company to dial a landline number followed by an access code for each satellite terminal.
Stratos MobileLink Flex (formerly known as Stratos 2-Stage Access) enables the company to call any of its satellite terminals simply by dialing the individual satellite telephone number, following an access code. To simplify customer accounting, all Stratos MobileLink calls appear on one monthly statement. Calls can be split easily by company, department or vessel.

“At a time when cost containment is of paramount importance, the ability to reduce fixed-to-mobile calling expenses is critical,” informed Stratos President and CEO Jim Parm. “Stratos MobileLink services eliminate the high, direct-dial rates charged by local telephone operators, while maintaining the highest possible call quality. This service reflects Stratos’ ongoing commitment to help companies maintain effective communications at the lowest possible cost.”
