Global Satellite USA, Fort Lauderdale's satellite solutions provider, has purchased a new office, stretching over 5,000 square feet, located at 1901 South Andrews Avenue, right next to the Maritime Professional Training office. Global Satellite renovated the offices and is now proud to have the largest showroom for satellite communications in South Florida. In front of the offices will be a large showroom that will be divided into manufacturer sections, broken down by product family. With the new space, Global Satellite USA will now be able to hold training programs on a regular basis. Our telephone number has remained the same at 954 522 6260. Commenting on the new offices, CEO&amp; Martin Fierstone says, "We have been considering about moving offices for a while now and waited until the right opportunity came along. With the economy in South Florida still struggling, we must be doing something right if we are expanding".

Global Satellite USA moves into new office

Global Satellite USA has announced the launch of the first digital voice and data solution that has been customized for a boat. For the first time, one can have a digital system that integrates with a satellite phone, a BGAN or Fleetbroadband system, SatCollect, internet, wireless and GSM in one solution. Martin Fierstone, CEO &amp; Founder of Global Satellite USA, comments, “The applications are endless, but with our Satellite IP PBX you really could run your business from the boat. Megayachts can now benefit from unlimited extensions, conference calls, run a satellite phone and a GSM phone and have high speed internet with multiple users. What’s exciting is that this product is so competitively priced that it compares favorably with an analogue system. The future is digital – so we made a system to encourage boat owners to switch without feeling the financial pain”. This unified communication system brings several unique advantages. Firstly, Global Satellite USA deploys a category 5 cable that provides voice, data and power which substantially reduces the amount of cable and weight on the boat. This has a huge impact not only on new found space, but also cable management is now much easier to control. Secondly, should the system default in anyway, remote diagnostic is possible and a replacement part or identifying the source of the problem is easy identifiable via the Internet. The Global Satellite USA IP PBX has based its system using the award-winning CISCO Router, 1800 Series. This new platform delivers unified communications solutions to small and medium-sized businesses and small branch offices, enabling anytime, anywhere secure access to information. Through integration of voice gateway, call processing, voicemail, automated attendant, conferencing, transcoding, and security capabilities, this Integrated Services Router delivers a complete unified communications solution. Global Satellite USA has used their engineering skills to use Cisco’s technology and integrated it with satellite so that it can be deployed on boats.

Global Satellite USA announces digital voice and data solutions

Global Satellite USA, leaders in the satellite marine industry, launches Polaris, a new position-reporting device for megayachts, tenders, jet skies and the racing world produced by Trident Sensors Ltd. in the UK. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/126077/image/large-5ade3054cbee111e37e7e7cab275f681.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/126077">For safety and security reasons, megayachts require reporting and tracking solutions. With the new Polaris, if guests on a charter boat take a jet ski or tender for a short trip, and something goes wrong, it is now possible to track them and provide immediate assistance. Even when tenders are secured tightly at the end of the boat, accidents happen quickly, especially in bad weather and if the tender breaks away, an alarm will go off as soon as the position is altered. An alarm can be triggered if either there is movement without the owner’s consent or a revised direction from a planned route already programmed. CEO, Martin Fierstone, comments, “The low transmission cost, rapid deployment and economic price means that for owners who wouldn’t normally consider this high level type of tracking, Polaris provides a very attractive solution”. The Polaris is a self-contained, battery-powered, lightweight, tracking device capable of reporting a boat's position, speed and course at pre-determined intervals, and is programmable remotely. The device works on battery power alone or on external power. It is capable of sending over 4000 position reports on one battery charge - the equivalent of every half-hour for 80 days at sea or almost 14 days at 5-minute intervals. What makes this device stand apart is that it combines the best capabilities of other reporting systems all in one unit. Trident Sensors’ tracking devices have been used on many well known ocean races and yachts, including Dame Ellen MacArthur's record-breaking trimaran B&amp;Q. The precursor to Polaris, the OCTrackers, were developed for Offshore Challenges to be used by the RORC [Royal Ocean Racing Club] to track the fleets in the Round Britain and Ireland Race 2006 and the 2007 Rolex Fastnet Race. The online data management system ran independently using a variety of software programmes, allowing stand-alone management by race organizers. One of the reasons that make the Trident Sensors’ trackers so successful with the racers is that they are low power, lightweight, waterproof and easy to use by exhausted skippers.
