Globe Wireless introduces GlobeSwift, a line of communications equipment, airtime, applications, and IT services to the yacht market. The company built its reputation by providing communications and IT service for over 9,000 commercial ships, and the GlobeSwift product line brings advanced services to the pleasure yacht market. At the same time it recognizes that the requirements of yacht owners and managers are much different than traditional commercial maritime users thereby bringing the products and services that will be offered to meet the unique requirements of the pleasure market.

Frank Coles, President and CEO of Globe Wireless said "GlobeSwift offers advanced communication services such as browsing, email and VoIP, and is combined with aesthetics and top caliber support." He continued, "We can now offer customers a 1M Ku band and 60cm Mini-Ku VSAT systems. Combining this with the Globe i4, which uses traditional Inmarsat or Iridium as a backup for VSAT, means customers have a fully redundant communications system." Globe Wireless also provides customers with a full suite of IT and operational applications including GlobeWeather, GlobeForms, Globe AntiVirus, and more.

Mr. Coles continued, "Outstanding customer support and shipboard service capabilities are very important. Globe Wireless has over 40 employee technicians located around the world who can install, service, and support communications equipment, software, computer systems, and networks. We believe that GlobeSwift is a truly unique offering to yacht owners and managers." A new website,  www.globeswift.com, and a new Globe Wireless sales and support office in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida underline Globe's commitment to the yacht market.
