Pacific chat gathers pace

Article Abstract:

International communications is expected to make advancements to meet the continuing growth of the marine industry, particularly in the Far East. Trading patterns will possibly change but Inmarsat believes that the limited number of deep water ports in the Far East may cause smaller ships to be more affected than operators of larger tonnage. Inmarsat also believes that one area which is likely to grow is social calls, since more seafarers are expected to phone home more regularly.

Speaking a little faster

Article Abstract:

Shipowners are upgrading their data communication system to suit their needs. High-speed data communication system answers the problem in data compilation and transmission particularly for cruise line operators. Sophisticated systems, such as the Inmarsat's -A and -B systems, are considered to be highly reliable and cost effective. Factors, which include voice mail and fax option, are also viewed to be important in choosing the right communication system.

Message management aids data transmission

Article Abstract:

Marinet Systems' new message management and switching software system provides transmission cost reduction and faster transmission rates. The new system can transmit compressed data at a rate of 250,000 characters a minute. In addition, it can transmit and receive messages at the same time because it operates on a duplex mode. These capabilities allow better communications links between vessels and their onshore facilities.
