MTN Communications has launched MTN UltraBurst for yachts for the 2015 Mediterranean Season.
The MTN UltraBurst service delivers on-demand, consumption-based, high-throughput Ku-band connectivity solution for yachts. The satellite bandwidth “burst ability” of this service is ideal for streaming content and media to user devices and systems on board yachts. Customers can use their existing antenna hardware. This is key to delivering the fastest speeds, on demand, at the best value while meeting customers’ lifestyle and communications needs.
MTN UltraBurst enables yacht captains and electronic technical officers (ETOs) to select the highest-speeds available whenever needed through a touchscreen via the MTN Maestro mobile app – MTN Conductor. They can make UltraBurst available down to specific users and devices on their networks. MTN Conductor makes managing and optimizing multiple networks on board a yacht as simple as a swipe or click.
Each yacht captain or ETO can customize or manage their UltraBurst service to the needs of their owners and guests with mode controls via MTN Conductor. This helps with “owner/guest on” and “owner/guest off” bandwidth demands. It also takes managing the Quality of Service (QoS) configuration of onboard networks to a new level. Captains and ETOs only use bandwidth bursts when needed, while staff maintain their same levels of operational tasks and crew welfare services.
