Iridium... Sat Savvy Shipping (SATCOM)


Norbulk Shipping is installing Iridium OpenPort(r) high-speed satellite communication systems across its fleet of more than 70 ships in a move to reduce its monthly ship-shore communication costs. Iridium service provider AND Group is supplying the equipment and service plan for the Norbulk ships. AND Group is integrating the satellite terminals with a robust connection suite to provide a powerful, web-based tool for managing all aspects of email, data and voice communications for crew welfare and ship's business.
