AIRPORT CITY BUSINESS PARK, Israel, January 3,
2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Station711, the innovative and flexible Mobile Satellite
Services division of RRsat Global Communications Network Ltd
(NASDAQ: RRST), announced today that its crewtalk solution, a
complete onboard voice gateway, is now integrated with the
FleetBroadband Multi-voice service. This integration enables access
of up to nine simultaneous voice calls, thus increasing both
operational and personal communication accessibility and
efficiency.
The crewtalk solution is designed to support commercial,
operational and pre-paid voice services, as well as an ability to
provide the flexibility to allocate different profiles per user and
onboard extensions. With the updated Multi-voice ability, the
crewtalk will support up to nine simultaneous calls and will allow
customers to give their crew and officers a commercial, operational
and personal link to the world while at sea.
The combined solution enhances the vessel's efficiency with an
onboard PBX, integrated with a crew prepaid solution, providing
controlled and managed telephony usage and costs as well as the
Multi-voice ability. The solution seamlessly integrates the
existing onboard PBX to the FleetBroadband terminal and ensures
that all crew phone calls are routed through the prepaid system
from dedicated voice lines, or from the PBX extensions.
The integrated solution provides up to nine simultaneous voice
lines with FleetBroadband 250 or 500 terminals, and up to four
simultaneous voice lines with FleetBroadband 150. Thrane &
Thrane Sailor terminal users can
create a fully-integrated crewtalk and Multi-voice solution with
just a firmware update and no other additional elements required.
For other FleetBroadband terminals, additional hardware can be used
alongside the terminal to access the additional telephone lines
with the Multi-voice services.
"Station711's crewtalk solution is
tailored toaddress varied onboard needs and challenges faced
by crews at sea," commented Ohad Har-Lev, Managing Director Mobile Satellite
Services, RRsat. "The integrated solution allows shipping
companies to take advantage of the Multi-voice service
to increase the commercial and
operational on-board productivity
and significantly enhance crew welfare through
this proficient solution."
