OmniAccess and Panasonic Avionics Corporation unveiled a tailored XTS "extremely high throughput" satellite network for multiple mobility markets. Details on this new communications service are available to key customers that visit the OmniAccess booth at the Monaco Yacht Show.
OmniAccess and Panasonic began collaborating on XTS high-throughput satellite designs in September 2015 in order to bring unprecedented levels of capacity and performance to OmniAcess' existing Super yacht and cruise customers. Through this agreement OmniAccess has secured access to Panasonic's existing HTS capacity, currently contracted capacity and the future XTS satellite network, bringing industry-leading capacity and performance to its yachting and cruise ship markets. Leveraging Panasonic's existing global high-speed satellite network, OmniAccess is already providing industry-leading connection speeds of over 200 Mbps to select individual customers.
Bertrand Hartman, OmniAccess' CEO, said: "Thanks to our collaboration with Panasonic we have recently been able to roll out the first maritime Ku-band HTS service with truly unprecedented levels of performance. The combination of the unique RF performance of the XTS satellite topology and OmniAccess' cutting edge network infrastructure has allowed us to successfully meet the increasing of demands our customers, significantly raising the bar for maritime high-performance connectivity services."
Paul Margis, CEO of Panasonic Avionics Corporation, said: "We announced our partnership with OmniAccess at the Monaco Yacht Show last year, and since then, we've been able to develop solutions that have improved our operational efficiencies and also delivered higher performance and better service to OmniAccess' super yacht customers. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with OmniAccess to establish a new standard in high-bandwidth services for the mobility market."
