[Satellite Today 09-02-08] Stratos Global Corp. completed a field trial of its Fleet Broadband with the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN), the company announced Sept. 2.
The three-month trial was conducted onboard the RNLN Van Kinsbergen in Western European waters. Radio Holland managed the installation of a Thrane and Thrane Sailor 500 Fleet Broadband terminal onboard the vessel. Fleet Broadband also was integrated with AmosConnect to manage all e-mail traffic.
Stratos claims the successful trial led to RNLN's purchase of the Fleet Broadband service, which it will use to manage its daily operations at sea. RNLN is the first organization to commercially deploy the Fleet Broadband service.
