Top 10 Global Energy
Company Selects EMC
for Mission-Critical
Connectivity
Services on Vessel
Fleet
September 14, 2015
EMC announces
a Top 10 Global
Energy* company has
selected the
organization to
provide voice and
data connectivity
services for its
Asia/Pacific vessel
fleet. The
multi-million
dollar, multi-year
contract adds
another
world-recognized
energy company to
the EMC customer
portfolio. EMC
now delivers
services to five of
the Top 10 Global
Energy Companies.
“We have
delivered
mission-critical
communications
services to the
world’s largest
energy companies for
more than 15 years,”
said Hadassa Lutz,
president of Energy
Services, EMC. “They
rely on us for
onshore and offshore
connectivity, due to
our efficiency,
reliability and
innovation.
Meeting these
requirements has
been key to the
customer selecting
us. Customers
distinguish EMC in
three ways – our
truly global
services for
mobility and fixed
applications,
differentiated
solutions, and
unmatched worldwide
customer support.”
EMC owns and
operates the most
advanced global
mobility platform,
leveraging an
unprecedented hybrid
satellite and
terrestrial
broadband network.
In the Asia/Pacific,
the customer
required a seamless
connection across
regions served by
multiple satellite
beams. EMC
customers benefit
from automatic beam
switching, meaning
their technicians do
not need to make
physical changes to
onboard systems.
EMC also enables
seamless switching
for vessels in port
to a terrestrial or
cellular network
from a satellite
connection.
EMC
connectivity
performs optimally,
delivering more
reliability, due to
overlapping Ku-band
satellite coverage
with automatic beam
switching. The
company is able to
dynamically allocate
satellite bandwidth
to each vessel based
on customer-defined
quality of service (QoS)
levels.
Customers also
benefit from
complete
transparency into
system performance
data, including
bandwidth delivery
and consumptions of
networks by type and
user. EMC
integrates its
solutions fully with
the customer’s IT
policies, extending
all processes and
security procedures
to their vessels.
EMC also
provides voice and
on-board PBX,
out-of-band
management of
satellite services,
equipment, and
on-going technical
support. Crew
members have access
to OceanPhone®, a
voice application
used to connect,
through their own
devices, with
friends and family.
