Want to use your smartphone on board ship? There's an app for that! Well, maybe not an app, but certainly easily available hardware and technology. For example, Inmarsat is providing two new service options to application providers who want to use FleetBroadband to enable cell phone base stations to backhaul calls to and from a ship, according to Frank August, Director, Business Development - Americas at Inmarsat.For Iridium satphone users, plugging that phone into Iridium AxcessPoint-a 122 mm x 73 mm x 18.5 mm box-creates a Wi-Fi hotspot and establishes an Internet connection that enables the use of smartphones, tablets and laptops (i.e. iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, PC, Mac) from anywhere on the planet.
