[SatNews] These two companies will present combo products to the maritime market…
Vizada and Thrane & Thrane have signed a partnership agreement to launch a new broadband product to the maritime market. Via their shared distribution channels, the partnership will offer shipping companies a maritime mobile broadband package that combines the strengths of Thrane & Thrane hardware with Vizada VSAT and MSS services and solutions. The maritime mobile broadband package includes Thrane & Thrane’s SAILOR 900 VSAT and SAILOR FleetBroadband terminals, combined with Vizada’s Pharostar VSAT and FleetBroadband service and the recently launched Vizada XChange, a unified platform that provides a secure and controlled communications environment for voice and broadband data. Vizada complements the package with Vizada Solutions for messaging, prepaid communications and traffic control.
Thrane & Thrane’s new Ku-band antenna, SAILOR 900 VSAT is already being tested over Vizada’s Pharostar global Ku-band VSAT service. SAILOR 900 VSAT is a powerful, quick and easy-to-install stabilized Ku-band VSAT antenna that will be available for vessels of all size and type following its forthcoming commercial release this summer. Thrane & Thrane’s global service network will provide worldwide technical support and on board assistance for the VSAT antenna and FleetBroadband systems. Vizada’s Pharostar VSAT service will be supplemented with FleetBroadband in areas where Ku-band coverage is unavailable, therefore providing global coverage at all times. The service connectivity switching between VSAT and FleetBroadband will be managed through the new Vizada XChange platform. Vizada’s owned and operated global VSAT infrastructure provides the flexibility to create specially designed VSAT airtime flat fees suited to the needs of the transportation and merchant sector and driving down costs for shipping companies. Vizada and Thrane & Thrane will also co-operate and combine their efforts towards their shared distribution channels to increase the effectiveness of marketing, distribution, delivery and support for the new package.
