Thrane & Thrane has announced that two new Inmarsat service
enhancements for FleetBroadband, the Multi-Voice Service and the Dynamic
Telemetry Service, will be available on SAILOR FleetBroadband terminals
when the services go live in Q1 and Q2 2012.
The new Inmarsat FleetBroadband Multi-Voice Service provides facility
for up to nine simultaneous voice lines on a SAILOR 500 or SAILOR 250
FleetBroadband, while a SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband can offer up to four
concurrent calls.
Each line will have its own unique FleetBroadband number (+870).
This new functionality will be available on existing SAILOR
FleetBroadband terminals via a firmware upgrade and will be fully
functional in all new terminals.
Due to built in PBX functionality, the SAILOR FleetBroadband terminals
don’t require integration with an external IPPBX to enable the
Multi-Voice Service. All users need to do is to configure their
FleetBroadband terminal and attach a Thrane IP Handset, or, if desired,
connect an existing PBX.
The Dynamic Telemetry Service (DTS) is used to provide support for low
throughput applications of any type, such as Data Reporting, Polling and
Telemetry, and will similarly be available on all new SAILOR
FleetBroadband terminals out of the box and through a firmware upgrade
for existing terminals.
DTS is expected to offer a range of new opportunities for remote
(shore-ship) monitoring and control of systems on-board a vessel, as
well as various tracking applications.
“These exciting new services are major enhancements to FleetBroadband so
we are committed to making them available on SAILOR FleetBroadband from
the moment they go live,” says Casper Jensen, VP maritime business
unit, Thrane & Thrane.
“With over 20,000 terminals shipped so far, there will be a lot of users
out there keen to bring multi-voice and DTS into daily operation, and
with SAILOR FleetBroadband it will be a straightforward, cost-effective
process.”
