[Via Satellite 05-04-2016] SeaVsat, a global mobile broadband communication solutions and maritime communications provider, has signed a contract with SES for satellite capacity as well as the operator’s SES Enterprise+ Broadband service. Under the new agreements, SeaVsat will be providing broadband connectivity and Voice Over IP (VoIP) services to its maritime customers, enabling reliable communications for offshore operations and enhanced crew welfare.

SES Enterprise+ Broadband is the first product offering of SES’s enhanced data network — SES Plus — that offers customized products and solutions to tackle the evolving needs of the data markets. The high-speed broadband service is a “plug-n-play” offering, with pay-as-you-go options to ensure the service can quickly be accessed.

“SES Enterprise+ Broadband service has given us more flexibility and the high throughput that is needed for our vessels off the coast of Nigeria,” said Arlette de Boer, managing director at SeaVsat.
