MTN debuts its Nexus next-generation hybrid network


The maritime consumer markets can now enjoy content, social media, and voice solutions through Nexus, a next-generation hybrid network solution by MTN Communications that combines satellite and terrestrial wireless capabilities. Nexus can also deliver computing, caching, and security infrastructure.

According to MTN President and CEO Errol Olivier, cruise operators were making significantly increasing demands for connectivity and content due to a parallel increase in the communications required by their passengers and crew. Cruise passengers and crew have shown increasing desire to stream video, update their social media pages, and share vacation images with friends or family members aboard the same vessel.

In response, MTN created the Nexus hybrid solution for the Company's cruise line partners. The Company drew upon its 30 years of experience in delivering connectivity and content to maritime vessels in locations that are out of reach from terrestrial wireless and wireline networks. The Nexus network combines the best of satellite and land-based wireless networks to ensure continuous and fast connectivity.
