NSSLGlobal the Independent satellite communications provider has launched a unified communications solution that combines VSAT and cellular connectivity within one single 60cm Sailor dome.
Known as FusionIP it integrates LTE and satellite broadband, allowing yachts to automatically switch between 4G/3G and satellite networks to achieve optimum data speeds and cost efficiency.
Offering the best of two worlds, it promises to deliver fast, efficient connectivity in one easy-to-install antenna, NSSLGlobal’s new product presents a convenient, all-in-one, ‘unified communications’ solution that provides a global “one SIM, one contract” package with speeds up to 100Mbits.
FusionIP represents a leap forward in terms of convenience. With one aesthetically pleasing antenna, a single system, and one point of contact for technical information, the new product/service is ideal for yachts, crew transfer vessels, offshore wind installation vessels, fishing vessels and coastal commercial vessels.
“We’ve seen a great deal of demand for hybrid systems in the last few months,” commented Sally-Anne Ray, CEO, NSSLGlobal. “We felt, however, that we could deliver a better experience than what was already in the market. We’ve eliminated the need to wire-in and support multiple devices, or to spoil the aesthetics of a vessel with multiple antennas.
She added,” We’ve also eliminated the need to use multiple SIMs. Instead, we’ve provided a highly-optimised, convenient, aesthetically-pleasing solution that is easy to install and delivers entirely predictable, optimised pricing anywhere in the world, with no effort. It’s simply a case of ‘plug it in and go’.”
