Tighter control of ship communications reduces costs

摘要

Managers can reduce communications costs, monitor usage, apply tougher security and control connectivity by deploying specialist services on top of their VSAT technology. AST's Integra provides management services for communications using frequencies including Ku-, Ka- and C-band VSAT bands and L-band. "These services are a real game-changer when it comes to giving shipping companies the ability to save money and manage their data effectively," says AST Group marine director Stuart Castell. "Shipping companies have the ability to monitor and control their data usage down to the application level; even encrypted applications' use can be viewed and controlled," he explains.
