Major Maritime Comms Improvements By NSSL + Telemar


Telemar's SeaCall page NSSL and Telemar Scandinavia have announced a joint partnership for their Maritime Broadband Services, with NSSL’s Cruise IP and Telemar’s SeaCall services now using the same high-quality DVBS2-RCS broadband platform.

The two companies have also jointly launched a new DVBS2-RCS Service at the Nittedal Land Earth Station (LES) in Norway and have integrated it into their existing DVBS2 networks. This extends coverage for NSSL and Telemar maritime and land customers. NSSL and Telemar have also taken over the existing DVB-RCS customers from Vizada.

By extending the DVBS2-RCS network, NSSL and Telemar now offer one of the world’s most extensive Ku- maritime broadband coverage areas, providing seamless service across the Pacific, Mediterranean, Caribbean, all of Europe and the Middle East, including the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. This means Cruise IP and SeaCall vessels are able to easily move between the ocean regions while using the same service levels, pricing and full end-to-end 24/7 guaranteed technical support.
