Skymira LLC has launched its SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband Solution with intelligent IP controls designed to limit excessive satellite charges. Skymira provides wireless systems tailored to a customer’s specific business and operations. The SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband Solution with intelligent IP controls enables maritime fleet managers to leverage the lower unit cost offered by the SAILOR 150 model. It assures more predictable satellite carrier bills and is ideal for commercial vessels and professional fleets. The Sailor 150 FleetBroadband is a high-quality solution offering voice and Broadband internet service on Inmarsat’s global broadband I4 satellite network.
According to Robert Landsfield, CEO of Skymira, LLC, even though the maritime industry has an affordable hardware solution for accessing satellite fleet broadband, the lower cost of the terminal doesn’t necessarily assure lower satellite service charges.
The Intelligent IP Controls from Skymira controls internet access and IP at the satellite terminal to preempt improper use, abuse and inexperience that typically results in excessive carrier charges. Since IP controls have long been used at the office and enterprise levels, they have not been implemented onboard with satellite terminal devices. By locking in customer-specified proper uses and locking out improper use, carrier charges can be effectively managed.
Skymira unlocks the value in corporate remote information through a complete set of state-of-the-art satellite and cellular technologies designed for operations management.
According to company officials, SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband features a small and light antenna that enables simple user installation designed to provide global, high quality data and voice for business, operational or recreational applications.
