Wired Ocean

Other Upgrades

Wired Ocean’s S-Box and shore to ship service have the flexibility to be added to almost any maritime communications system. The improvements and benefits will depend on the system being enhanced.

Cellular Data Services

Cellular data services are cost effective for near to shore internet access. But their variability in speed, coverage and roaming charges leaves plenty of scope for Wired Ocean enhancement.

• Wired Ocean’s shore to ship data speed is almost 10 times faster than cellular GPRS services. It provides a fast reliable downlink, while cellular services can be subject to local congestion near ports and harbours.
• Wired Ocean’s fixed price subscriptions are significantly more economical than 3G/GPRS roaming charges.
• When cellular coverage ends Wired Ocean is still there, to provide easy switching to, and performance and cost enhancement of, satellite based services.

Mobile Satellite

Wired Ocean can enhance low speed mobile satellite systems for internet access. Wired Ocean's shore to ship services are substantially faster than Iridium, Globalstar or ThurayaMarine. Wired Ocean's shore to ship service is 'always-on' and with fixed price service plans you pay a fixed monthly subscription irrespective of how long you are online or the volume of data you receive. Ships can receive large volumes of data very economically.

Wired Ocean's S-Box, in conjunction with the network operations hub, incorporates state of the art performance enhancement systems. These minimise latency (processing lag or time delay), remove unnecessary handshaking and compress and cache transferred data.
