Background: In 1990, Boatracs
became Qualcomm’s exclusive
domestic maritime distributor for
its OmniTRACS® system.
Challenge: To provide the commercial
maritime industry with reliable, cost-effective
communications services including
vessel tracking.
Solution: Since the alliance was
created, Boatracs has developed
a fully integrated suite of maritime
information solutions, all backed
by the Boatracs 24/7/365 Network
Operations Center.
Result: Today, in addition to
providing round-the-clock technical
and customer service support, Boatracs
provides emergency response and disaster
back-up services, messaging relay,
mapping and positioning, and a variety
of subscription services. These fully
integrated services can dramatically
increase operational efficiencies
for fleet managers.

partner, visit Qualcomm.
Background: Boatracs is a strategic
technology partner with Stratos for
the Bandwidth Efficient Satellite
Transport (BEST), a unique virtual
private network solution via satellite
which provides cost savings and greater
flexibility.
Challenge: To accommodate customers’
day-to-day telephony and LAN requirements
for all remote sites, with the occasional
need for greater “bandwidth
on demand” from particular sites.
Solution: Custom system solution
that enables Inmarsat-B users to
increase their maximum throughput
to 256 kpbs while maintaining guaranteed
channel availability on a global
basis.
Result: Prior to the alliance
with Stratos, existing Inmarsat-B
high-speed data users were limited
to a maximum of 64 kilobytes per second
to and from mobile terminals. Now
they can achieve up to 256 kbps from
the mobile, and up to 512 kbps to
the mobile. Military Sealift Command
chose BEST to provide worldwide IT21
C41 capability to its fleet.

partner, visit Stratos.
Background: In 1998, Xantic
formed a non-exclusive partnership
with Boatracs to cooperate in the
marketing of communications services
and management software to the U.S.
workboat market.
Challenge: To provide workboat
operators outside of North America
with reliable and cost-effective communications
to exchange messages, e-mail, and
data files.
Solution: Using Inmarsat services
such as Mini-M as a platform, Boatracs
built its VComm IP® software to
provide for seamless bidirectional
transfer of data files, as well as
providing integrated GPS capture and
position reporting to shore, intelligent
file queuing and compression,. As
well as eliminating many call management
concerns typically associated with
fleet communications.
Result: Companies operating in North
America are now able to transfer
the same data transfer techniques
and proven system software to their
vessels operating overseas. With
VComm IP , airtime charges and overall
costs are substantially reduced
over traditional methods with the
same equipment.
