Anthony Veder has agreed a deal with Inmarsat Maritime to upgrade its entire fleet to Inmarsat’s NexusWave system to support both operational and crew communications, a combination of GEO, LEO, and LTE connectivity.
An existing Inmarsat customer and early adopter of Fleet Xpress, Anthony Veder was a contributor to the development of NexusWave through beta testing and preliminary feedback.
“Our contribution to the development of NexusWave in early concept meetings and beta trials helped to shape a solution that meets the evolving requirements of modern shipping,” said Jos Kooij, Digital Lead – Technology & Support, Anthony Veder.
“By combining the best of satellite and terrestrial technology, NexusWave delivers on its promise of connected confidence. We are particularly pleased with its capacity to support cloud-based business applications and advanced operational technology, which have exceeded our expectations.”
The company notes that the decision to implement NexusWave fleetwide was also driven by crew welfare and cybersecurity considerations, with the system providing enterprise-grade security through network segregation and encrypted traffic.
“We chose to roll NexusWave out fleetwide after experiencing a step-change in our simultaneous crew and operational communications during trials,” said Benne Engelen, Chief Information Officer, Anthony Veder.
“With unparalleled continuity of service and network segregation, both leisure and business applications run as smoothly and securely as they would at home or in the office, helping us to meet our objective of fully connected maritime operations while maintaining a happy and motivated workforce.”
“It fosters our culture of collaboration, really bridging the physical distance as no other product can at this time.”
