Globe Wireless signs with Marine Management

Globe Wireless has announced the signing of a contract with Piraeus-based Marine Management Services (MMS). Under the agreement, Globe Wireless will provide its communication solution, Globe iFusion, to MMS.

Globe iFusion features an Inmarsat FleetBroadband 250, a dual firewall, optimised IP connections and multiple least cost route gateways. The solution is designed for making voice calls using GSM, sending and receiving email, and browsing the internet.
The solution also enables shore-side control, including the administration of user profiles, browsing capabilities, firewall settings, satellite gateways and least cost routing.
“The driving force behind this long established relationship with Globe Wireless has been our requirement to minimize the overall cost of our communications traffic, which has always been a very significant operational expense,” says Constantinos Psomopoulos, IT manager, Marine Management.
MMS has used Globe iFusion to test the operational uses of all other onboard satellite systems, including a wide range of applications, such as web browsing, internet access, email and GSM mobile phoning (inbound and outbound) and sms. Crew members were given low cost access to Globe iFusion’s voice and internet services every day during their leisure hours.
“We are honored and pleased to enhance and extend our strong partnership with Marine Management Services and grateful for their business,” states Dave Kagan, president, Globe Wireless.
“Globe Wireless has supplied Marine Management Services with messaging solutions, satellite and HF communications services and operational IT applications since 2000.”
