Maersk connectivity drives VSAT acquisition and technical achievements

摘要

At the end of August, Speedcast International signed an agreement to acquire Globecomm Systems from its owners, HPS Investment Partners and Tennenbaum Capital Partners, for USI135M. One of the key contributing factors for this purchase is Globecomm's strong position in maritime satellite communications, where its biggest client is Maersk Line. For this major operator, Globecomm provided VSAT using Ku-band with L-band as a fall-back for times when Ku-band was unavailable. Maersk Line uses this connectivity for operational communications, container tracking and remote monitoring and for crew welfare services.
