High flying Wi-Fi

By Janice Wood · July 23, 2009 ·

International Communications Group (ICG) has developed an interface between its NxtMail Server and the SDU-7300 Swift 64 and SDU-7320 Swift Broadband Satcom systems that makes it possible for up to eight on-board Wi-Fi devices to simultaneously access the services provided by the InMarSat high speed data channel.

The enhanced NxtMail server facilitates and manages communications and data routing with any of the ICG NxtLink Iridium Systems such as the ICS-100 and 200. The integration with the Cobham SDUs means that operators of those units will now be able to interface a variety of Wi-Fi enabled devices, including Blackberrys, IPhones and mail services such as Blackberry Internet Service (BIS), Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES), Blackberry PIN messaging, Instant Messenger, MS Exchange Server ActiveSync, and a variety of webmail services.
