The two companies have also jointly launched a new DVBS2-RCS Service at the Nittedal Land Earth Station (LES) in Norway and integrated it into their existing DVBS2 networks, extending coverage for both NSSL and Telemar Maritime and Land Customers.

In conjunction with this, NSSL and Telemar have also taken over the existing DVB-RCS customers from Vizada.

By extending the DVBS2-RCS network, NSSL and Telemar now offers one of the world's most extensive KU maritime broadband coverage areas, providing seamless service across the Pacific, Mediterranean, Caribbean, all Europe and the Middle East including the Persian Gulf, and the Red Sea.

This means that Cruise IP and Seacall vessels are able to easily move between the ocean regions whilst using the same service levels, pricing and full end-to-end 24/7 guaranteed technical support.

Sally Ray, Sales Director for NSSL commented "This partnership offers tremendous value for NSSL and Telemar customers,, it allows both companies to combine our technical expertise. An immediate benefit of this cooperation is NSSL's Cruise IP Tracker which enables NSSL and Telemar to remotely track vessels, while monitoring the broadband system in real time."

Lars Brodje, Managing Director of Telemar Scandinavia said "We are excited to take part in what promises to be a revolution in the commercial maritime industry. The provision of broadband Internet is changing the way vessels operate and their crews communicate. Seamless Broadband coverage of most major shipping routes in the world is the catalyst for this revolution in the commercial maritime industry and we are thrilled to play a leading role in it."
