Globe Wireless + KG Jebsens... Ship Shape For Shipowners... (SATCOM)


[SatNews] Globe Wireless has announced that Kristian Gerhard Jebsen Skipsrederi AS has selected...

...the Dual Globe iFusion® system as the communication solution for SKS Tankers Holding AS and KGJS Cement Holding AS. The Dual Globe iFusion® solution provides full featured redundancy and reliability for vessels. The dual terminal FleetBroadband configuration allows one Globe iFusion terminal to act as the primary communication system, with the secondary Globe iFusion® terminal acting as a backup.

All external voice and data communications are controlled by the primary Globe iFusion®. If any connection loss is detected on the primary Globe iFusion® antenna, the secondary terminal antenna is used automatically for all services. The secondary terminal also serves as a backup and can become the primary Globe iFusion® terminal in an extremely unlikely event of primary terminal hardware failure. The Dual Globe iFusion® solution when combined with a VSAT terminal results in superior redundancy and satellite coverage delivering near 99.99 percent uptime.

Both Globe Wireless and KG Jebsen worked hand and hand with each other to develop and evaluate KG Jebsens’ specific requirements and communication systems to best match their needs. This partnership means that all of Globe’s customers can benefit from a Dual Globe iFusion® configuration.
