Allows Interfacing With Iridium And InMarSat Networks
International Communications Group (ICG) announced Tuesday it
has enhanced its new NxtMail with modifications that will add ease
and flexibility to its installation in virtually any aircraft and
offer customers the ability to interface with both the Iridium
satellite network and InMarSat Swift Broadband.
"We have learned a great deal from our customers since we first
launched the NxtMail server last October," said ICG Vice President
of Sales Jeff Saucedo. "Basically, we are now saying, 'you spoke
and we listened' to those who evaluated NxtMail over the past few
months. The enhanced design we're announcing today is now even
easier to install and more flexible. We've integrated the WIFI card
into the unit, itself, eliminating the 'fit' problem created by the
protruding card in the previous version. We've also added an
external remote antenna, as well. These modifications will ensure
that the lightweight unit can be easily and quickly installed in
virtually any type and size of aircraft."
"Additionally, the NxtMail server is now configured to connect
to an InMarSat SBB terminal as a complimentary installation, as
well as to Iridium as a single radio, as before. This means that
customers can 'have their cake and eat it too,' when it comes to
defining their preferred networks. NxtMail will switch seamlessly
between datalink providers," Saucedo added.
ICG says the enhanced NxtMail server is the least expensive
E-mail solution on the market. It facilitates and manages
communications and data routing and will operate with any of the
ICG NxtLink Iridium Systems such as the ICS-100 and 200. It also
supports a variety of Wi-Fi enabled devices, including Blackberrys
and IPhones and mail servers such as Blackberry Internet Service,
Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES), Blackberry PIN messaging,
Blackberry Instant Messenger, Yahoo, Gmail, and HotMail webmail,
and MS Exchange Server ActiveSync.
"NxtMail is the only truly global datalink system. Now, in
response to customer input, we've made it even more versatile and
universally compatible. It's the simplest and the best way to stay
connected in flight," Saucedo concluded.
