The Flexiroam controls will be incorporated into our management toolset to provide clients the full range of secure maritime connectivity solutions, all with guaranteed connection uptimes of 99.5%. As client bandwidth needs constantly increase, it’s very important that we provide a cost-effective cellular solution when near shore that complements our global satellite connectivity.”
