Satcom Global is forming a partnership with software company AnsuR Technologies (AnsuR) to support to its maritime and remote land-based communications customers. Satcom Global announced the partnership April 14.

The partnership is based on giving customers access to better visual technologies. AnsuR develops software solutions for use in challenging environments, supporting optimized and cost-effective transmission of visual information over satellite communications, without compromising on quality or precision.

Satcom Global customers will now have access to AnsuR’s tools. ASIGN is an interactive tool which enables users to send photos and video clips in a quick, bandwidth-efficient way. ASMIRA is a customizable streaming video solution designed for use over satellite, enabling quality live video with a data speed connection of just 200 kbps or lower.

“The maritime sector presents some of the harshest working conditions on the planet, often with very limited access to connectivity for the operator. Together with Satcom Global, we aim to improve safety, working practices and operational efficiency through the delivery of visual communication solutions to maritime and land-based customers,” Paul Gudonis, chief strategy officer at AnsuR said in a statement.
