New Zealand marine electronics specialist Electronic Navigation Ltd (ENL) and SatComms Australia, a global satellite communication solutions provider, have entered into a joint venture forming SatComms NZ.
The partnership will see SatComms bring its airtime and satellite-solutions expertise, while ENL will provide the hardware and local on the ground support.
“Our service portfolio will integrate New Zealand into global satellite infrastructure, providing communication solutions for the wide spectrum of marine users such as commercial fishing, ocean sailors, super yachts, as well as government agencies and land-based customers,” says Calvin Clements, sales and marketing manager, Satcomms NZ.
In today's maritime world, vessel operators and owners understand that it is crucial in both retaining crew and running an operationally efficient vessel to be able to offer cost-effective voice communications, for crew and passengers to keep in touch with those on land.
SatComms NZ offers Ku & C-Band VSAT services, with the ability to link customers to various points on the planet via terrestrial infrastructure within Australia and New Zealand. These services offer true broadband data throughput speeds, and the ability for customers to utilise privately commissioned satellite bandwidth for greater performance and security.
