unnecessary
or
non-approved
data
connections.
Together
with
in-house
value-added
services
and
applications
Telaurus
provides
a
complete
end-to-end
maritime
communications
solution
suite,
thereby

the
customer
with
the
following
benefits:
The
price
of
sending
each
message
is
displayed
prior
to
transmission
making
it
easier
to
budget
and
control
expenditures.
Real-time
data
transfer.
A
single
monthly
bill
for
end-to-end
communication
services.
se@SHIELD®
an
anti-virus

against
malicious
threats.
Web
browsing
in a
totally
controllable
environment
allowing
private
crew
use
paid
from
their
se@CARDSM
account.
se@remote
which
allows
IT
managers
or
other
authorized
shore-based
staff
to
conduct
remote
diagnostics
and
trouble-shooting
thereby
reducing
the
need
for
costly
ship
visits.
A
web-based
Ship
Management
Tool
that
allows
the
ship’s
shore-based
management
to
monitor
and
control
the
vessel’s
communications
on a
real-time
basis.
Globecomm
is
now
providing
active
managed
services
on
more
than
2,000
vessels
through
its
maritime
division.

that
PACC

their
maritime

The

to
maximize
the
efficiencies
that
broadband
connectivity
offers
and
at
the
same
time
effectively
manage
and
control
data
transmissions
that,
without
such
controls,
can
become
extremely
costly."
