11 June 2015

After an intense period of technical and commercial development, SYNTELIX has launched uSAIL, a broadband service for the maritime sector. Based on its own proprietary technological development using a cloud ecosystem, on a VSAT iDirect Evolution platform operated by Hispasat, and with a flexible user-oriented commercial approach, the offer is perfectly adapted to the seasonal nature and specific demands of the nautical market, offering unlimited, high-quality connectivity on demand with daily granularity.

Clearly oriented towards the Western European market with Ku-band capacity using the Hispasat 1E satellite, which is located at the 30º West orbital position, the uSAIL® broadband Internet access service connects all types of ships and boats, and provides different qualities of service according to user profiles, ranging from a basic connection for crew, to maximum quality connections for IPTV reception – always a la carte and on demand. It also includes an IP telephone service at very affordable rates, combined with specific solutions for crew welfare and maritime streaming, making it a turnkey offer that covers all clients’ needs in this sector.

“The confidence and the effort HISPASAT has put into this project not only make us proud and confident, but also provide a soundness that clients and actors in this sector highly value. There has been a very positive reception”, affirmed SYNTELIX cofounder and CEO Carlos Derqui.

HISPASAT marketing manager Ester Fernández noted, “It has been very interesting to work with SYNTELIX on this innovative project, which has had excellent technical results and been very well received on the market. Extending satellite broadband services to the maritime segment of the mobility market is a fundamental goal for the HISPASAT Group”.
