RedPort Global announced the Optimizer Crew satellite broadband Wi-Fi router. Optimizer Crew lets users easily share and control access to a satellite broadband or GSM data service via a Wi-Fi or Ethernet network. Optimizer Crew replaces standard routers and can help users save money on satellite airtime bills while increasing operational efficiency and providing controlled access to email and the Internet.

“Satellite and GSM airtime costs can add up quickly if a network is left unoptimized. Network managers need to protect themselves against runaway usage, while getting the most out of their valuable satellite airtime. Optimizer Crew does exactly that.”  said Dr. Luis Soltero, CTO of RedPort Global. “Until now, routers with these features were too expensive or not designed for satellite installations. Optimizer Crew provides everything you need to manage your network and control costs, at a price anyone can afford. ”  

Optimizer Crew provides unlimited firewall, filtering, routing, PIN-code and local GPS repeating. It also works with RedPort Mail service for premium access to accelerated email and web compression service, as well as GPS tracking via RedPort tracking or any GsatTrack-based service. Optimizer Crew users can also access GSM service via an optional GSM modem and their own SIM card. This allows users access to GSM service in areas where it is available at a lower cost than satellite, for example while a marine vessel is in port in its home country.
