Milford, CT- September 23, 2009 –Skymira LLC, a leading provider of state-of-the-art satellite and cellular technologies for seamless management of remote operations, today announced the availability of its SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband Solution featuring Intelligent IP Controls designed to limit excessive satellite charges.
Skymira’s latest offering enables maritime fleet managers to leverage the lower unit cost offered by the SAILOR 150 model, while also assuring far more predictable satellite carrier bills. Ideal for commercial vessels and professional fleets, the Sailor 150 FleetBroadband is a competitive high-quality solution offering voice and Broadband internet service on Inmarsat’s global broadband I4 satellite network.
“Finally, the maritime industry has an affordable hardware solution for accessing satellite fleet broadband; however, the lower cost of the terminal doesn’t assure lower satellite service charges,” said Robert Landsfield, CEO, Skymira, LLC. “With our Intelligent IP Controls, there is a far less chance of getting one of those shockingly expensive satellite bills.” added Landsfield.
With Skymira’s Intelligent IP Controls, internet access and IP can be controlled at the satellite terminal to pre-empt improper use, abuse and inexperience that typically results in excessive carrier charges. IP controls have long been used at the office and enterprise levels, but traditionally have not been implemented at the onboard satellite terminal device, where unintended use is far more common to occur. By locking in customer-specified proper uses, and locking out improper use, carrier charges are more effectively managed.
