Thrane & Thrane is close to completing the installation and commissioning of its sophisticated SAILOR 900 VSAT and SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband systems on Hansa Heavy Lift’s entire fleet.
gCaptain reported that Thrane & Thrane partnered with PRO NAUTAS and Vizada to create a total communications solution for Hansa's 21 multipurpose heavy-lift sea vessels. T&T provided its SAILOR 900 VSAT and SAILOR 500 FleetBroadband, Vizada provided its XChange platform, and the project was implemented by PRO-NAUTAS.
Thrane & Thrane's VSAT systems ensure provided redundant global broadband connectivity and voice services. The Vizada-based solution platform automatically selected between Ku-band or L-band based on the current coverage, system performance, and airtime rates available to ensure maximum, cost-effective connectivity.
Casper Jensen, VP Maritime Business Unit, Thrane & Thrane, explained that Hansa wasn't just interested in ensuring crew and operational communications. "The new communication solution aboard Hansa Heavy Lift vessels," VP Jensen said, "Was chosen for its capability of enabling remote diagnostics and maintenance of the on board IT networks."
According to Jensen, total solutions that feature both VSAT and MSS had become very important. Global satellite broadband coverage allowed for constant remote monitoring and least cost routing that improved fleet fuel efficiency and reduce pollution. It could also help reducing maintenance and service costs.
Thrane & Thrane designed SAILOR 900 to speed up the system's procurement, installation, and commissioning. The Ku-band VSAT system can be easily and quickly installed on a wide variety of vessels, and it is able to link with all Ku-band satellite systems across the globe.
SAILOR 900 had achieved significant strides in the Ku-band market since its introduction last September. Earlier this January, Thrane and Thrane reported that a big shipping company with a global reach (Hansa Heavy Lift) procuted nearly 3000 VSAT units for a revolutionary Ericsson-developed total communication solution.
