StratosNet Accelerator is the latest addition to The Stratos Advantage, a suite of value-added services that, once downloaded, operates transparently on the customer’s personal computer. By using the latest data-compression techniques, it reduces by more than 80 percent the amount of email, web, and FTP data transmitted between terrestrial and mobile terminals. This functionality significantly increases transmission speeds and reduces airtime costs. Stratos is one of the world’s largest distributors of Inmarsat’s BGAN, FleetBroadband and SwiftBroadband mobile satellite offerings, which use portable, lightweight terminals to provide simultaneous, high-speed data and voice connectivity anywhere in the world.
StratosNet Accelerator is the ideal companion to ChatCard Data, which enables BGAN and FleetBroadband end users to expand the use of their prepaid ChatCard calling card to include Internet access. StratosNet Accelerator helps end-users get the maximum value for their ChatCard allowance.
