[Via Satellite 02-22-2016] Inmarsat<\/b>, together with Global Marine Networks<\/b> and Network Innovations<\/b>, announced the successful trial and subsequent commercial order for Fleet Xpress, the hybrid Ka- and L-band service using Inmarsat\u2019s Global Xpress network, in Antarctic waters. Fleet Xpress, installed on board the adventure cruise ship Ocean Nova, delivered robust communications in a very hostile environment.<\/p>\n
The trial was successfully conducted on board Nova Cruising\u2019s<\/b> 1992-built, ice-class Ocean Nova, operated by Nova Logistics<\/b>, a polar expedition specialist.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur customers rely on us to provide cutting-edge satellite services,\u201d said Luis Soltero, chief technology officer at Global Marine Networks, which offers a range of Internet-based services, hardware and software to commercial clients. \u201cFleet Xpress delivered on its promise of high-speed seamless mobile broadband service in one of the world\u2019s most difficult areas for most satellite systems. Antarctica requires low-horizon satellite views through heavy cloud cover and precipitation. Fleet Xpress successfully overcame these conditions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
In this trial, Network Innovations, one of Inmarsat\u2019s first value-added resellers of Fleet Xpress, was able to support Global Marine Networks and the crew of the Ocean Nova, which used a Cobham Sailor 100GX antenna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
