Customers use the GlobeRydex software either through the Public Hub environment (a service where ships connect to a shoreside hub managed by Globe Wireless) or a Private Hub configuration (where the shoreside server is kept and maintained at the customers premises). In past years, Rydex has seen only minimal software updates and was in need of enhancements and maintenance. Since Globe Wireless acquired SeaWave & Rydex, the Company has undertaken significant effort to improve the Rydex system. The first phase of improvements addressed the Public Hub infrastructure. The hardware, network connections, Internet gateway have all been upgraded, replaced, or improved to increase performance and stability. Also implemented is automated network monitoring through the Company's 24x7 Network Operations department. The new version of Rydex represents the second phase of improvements. In addition to a number of software fixes, this version introduces a number of new features that include improved compression using 7ZIP, resulting in shorter data transfer times — extended support for Fleet, Fleet Broadband, and Iridium OpenPort satellite hardware — true message level split billing for satellite airtime — Windows Vista support — full colour interactive vector weather charts in 3, 5 and 10-day forecasts — shipboard virus protection, extending to all shipboard PCs — and forms support, including U.S. Coast Guard eNOAD and Ballast Water, along with a sophisticated suite of ISM templates.
