[SatNews] OCENS, Inc. and Global Marine Networks have announced the availability of the OCENS webXaccelerator Satellite Router with Access Control.

The OCENS webXaccelerator is a satellite router with access control and data compression that gives unprecedented control to any broadband satellite installation. The webXaccelerator router can be used to address common satellite communications installation situations: create a satellite-based Internet café; generate new revenue or control shared usage through user-defined access codes for clients, crew or passengers using a single data feed; and solve installation challenges through loadbalancing and on-the-fly failover between satellite connections. The OCENS webXaccelerator router works with every major satellite data service provider including Inmarsat, Iridium, Globalstar, Thuraya, MSAT, VSAT systems, or any IP-based connection. It works at all data rates above 2.4KBps, and is specifically designed for the new generation of higher-speed satellite data systems such as Inmarsat FleetBroadband and Iridium OpenPort. OCENS and Global Marine Networks have partnered in the past to offer OCENS Mail, a complete satellite phone email service and WeatherNet, an on demand software service for the world’s most comprehensive ocean weather and oceanographic data.
