Speedcast SIGMA Net
SpeedCast International Limited an Australia-headquartered global satellite communications and network service provider, has announced the official release of its SIGMA Net service, which it claims is the new standard for shipping and remote site network management designed specifically for VSAT and MSS.
SIGMA Net is a small but powerful industrial-grade VSAT and MSS network management device designed for vessels and remote sites, providing automated and efficient management of multiple WAN links. Cyber security is at the heart of SIGMA Net, which incorporates a stateful firewall and Virtual Private Networking between the vessel and the Internet plus unique methods to regulate Internet access, including rejection of update services to Windows or mobile devices. Voice calling across multiple satellite equipment is simplified via SIGMA Net’s integrated VOIP server, allowing a caller to choose the outbound call route via a prefix. National numbers can also be allocated, allowing for cost-effective calling from shore to a vessel. Feature and performance enhancements are automatically applied, ensuring that the SIGMA Net’s software is always kept up to date.
SIGMA Net offers flexible crew services, including innovative pre-paid PIN-based BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Internet and voice calling services, allowing for simplified voucher generation and management from shore.
