MTN TBN-connected cruises double in a year

摘要

After launching its Terrestrial Broadband Network (TBN) just over a year ago, MTN Communications (MTN) has announced that the number of TBN-connected cruise ships has doubled and the number of regions covered has tripled. Since the TBN launch in Alaska in the summer 2013 cruise season, a number of MTN partners, including Norwegian Cruise Line and Princess Cruises, have started using the new technology. The MTN hybrid network now delivers approximately 10 terabytes of data daily and enabled more than 33 million Internet logins last year. The MTN TBN optimises the onboard bandwidth that is available to passengers and crew, especially when their ships enter port. TBN connectivity enables up to six times more bandwidth for communications and content sharing on board.
