10.000th Sailor FleetBroadband terminal
MARITIME INDUSTRY: Thrane & Thrane has shipped the 10,000th Sailor FleetBroadband terminal to Certified Partner and system integrator Telemar, for installation on board a Rickmers Shipping Company vessel.
The Sailor 500 FleetBroadband system will be used on over 100 Rickmers vessels to integrate and manage the company's communications and networking infrastructure.
Thrane & Thrane was first to market following the launch of the Inmarsat FleetBroadband service in November 2007, with the now proven SAILOR 500 and 250 FleetBroadband terminals.
The June 2009 launch of SAILOR 150 FleetBroadband expanded the portfolio, which now offers a terminal for all vessel types from small yachts and workboats through to offshore vessels, tankers and merchant ships.
"10,000 terminals in such a short space of time is an incredible performance", says Walther Thygesen, CEO, Thrane & Thrane.
"Our dominant position in the FleetBroadband terminals market reflects the acceptance of SAILOR as the best all round offering in terms of technical capability, reliability, operation and global service. As Inmarsat's flagship service continues to receive mainstream acceptance in all maritime segments, we expect Sailor FleetBroadband to continue to exceed our own, and the industry's expectations."
