Harms
Bergung will equip the Inmarsat XpressLink hybrid VSAT-wireless communications platform on its
anchor handling tug fleet, according to an announcement by Inmarsat.
DH-INTERCOM
served as the broker between Harms Bergung and Inmarsat. A German
maritime communications specialist, DH-Intercom is one of the first
XpressLink distributors ever approved by Inmarsat. It is also an
Inmarsat service provider with Gold accreditations. The XpressLink
contract it recently brokered would be DH-INTERCOM's second such successfully
contract in Germany.
Based
in Hamburg, Harms Bergung provides transport and heavy lifting
maritime services. Installing the Inmarsat XpressLink platform gives
its fleet a fully-integrated hybrid Ku-band and L-band wireless and satellite communications solution for a
fixed monthly cost.
XpressLink's
FleetBroadband L-band service supports always-on data speeds of
768kbps while its maritime VSAT service provides a committed information rate
of 192kbps. The dual system enhances the security and capability of an XpressLink-equipped ship's communications and Internet connectivity wherever it may be.
In
addition, Harms Bergung can choose to upgrade to Global Xpress -the next-generation global Ka-band satellite network- for
free. Set for launch on 2014, the Global Xpress satellite broadband service is expected to double the
bandwidth available to maritime customers.
