Under the agreement, Becker Marine Systems Communication seeks to incorporate SingTel’s suite of Maritime Satellite solutions into its umc.global network managed service platform. By extending applications such as corporate email, Intranet, and Internet access, as well as voice communications to sea-bound employees in a secure manner, ships can become seamless extensions of the shore-based office. SingTel will explore offering Becker Marine Systems Communication’s umc.connect portnet ship2shore service in more than 80 seaports worldwide. With this solution, vessels close to the shore or in port can reduce costs by switching their satellite broadband connections to SingTel’s high-speed land-based WiFi or mobile networks using umc.connect portnet communication services. The agreement also looks into providing umc.global network customers with cost-effective, hassle-free 2G, 3G and 3.5G roaming coverage via SingTel and Bridge Alliance networks in 11 countries such as Australia, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand.
