Ground Control Systems, Inc. and strategic partner GeoData Publishers, Inc. announced they teamed together to provide TDI-Brooks International (TDI-BI) with state-of-the-art maritime satellite communications. TDI-BI provides scientific services on a global basis via its marine research vessels.
GeoData Publishers, TDI-BI's partner for data management and IT services, relied on Ground Control, a leader in the Fleet/BGAN sector, to provide satellite equipment, satellite bandwidth and a management portal to TDI-BI's fleet of five research vessels operating worldwide. Utilizing Inmarsat's Fleet Broadband network with the Sailor 250 Fleet Broadband antenna, Ground Control delivered a satellite communications solution, enabling GeoData Publisher's system integration techniques to keep TDI-BI's fleet of research vessels connected across the globe.
The Sailor 250 provides TDI-BI the ability to monitor and manage critical assets 24/7 from corporate headquarters without paying the high cost of comparable technology. Requiring a constant connection, with limited data transmission requirements, TDI-BI is accessing Fleet Broadband's "always on" connection for a minimal monthly service charge and pays on a per megabyte basis.
"With the Sailor units in place and a custom designed network with data management tools from GeoData Publishers, TDI-BI now has a cost effective fleet broadband solution with the ability to manage multiple units from anywhere in the world", said Jeff Staples, CEO of Ground Control. "Remote management for this onboard solution eliminates the investment required for additional onboard IT staff, resulting in dramatic cost savings for TDI-BI."
