"Collaboration Challenges in Maritime and Shipping".
Maritime Satellite Communications Optimization.
Optimizing maritime communications
Maritime organizations face unique communications challenges. Delivering information to ships at sea over satellite is vital, but expensive.
Whether you’re transferring HR files, ISM documents or providing Internet services on board, bandwidth and cost are constraints. Geo-Replicator provides unique new technology that, through portal server content replication with our patented Epsilon compression technology, enables operators to deliver this content in the most cost-effective way.
Infonic Geo-Replicator provides ship operators with:
Safety and Quality Management. Compliance with international shipping regulations through automatic detection of updates added by Quality or Safety staff. Read more
Training. Onboard web and flash video based training tools without large data transfers required by online access. Read more
Crew Welfare. Internet and news access on board ship. Read more
Collaboration. Deployment of enterprise-wide feature-rich applications such
as Microsoft® SharePoint® by optimizing data transfer and reducing satellite costs. Read moreRemote Systems Maintenance and Monitoring. Unstructured data files can be significantly rationalized, enabling data such as Engine, Machinery and Service monitoring logs to be transmitted economically from ship to shore. Read more
General Data Exchange & Administration. Regular data such as anti-virus updates as well as ad-hoc updates for fleet circulars and technical manuals in optimized form. Read more

Major maritime customers
Infonic software supports large maritime clients including the US Navy, Shell, Dredging International and Regs4ships whose solution is used by APL America and APL Singapore. These fleets enjoy savings of up to 99% on their satellite data transfer costs, and an ROI of typically 6-12 months, whilst providing services never previously available onboard.
Geo-Replicator’s unique technology compresses and optimizes data - by up to 99% - making this the most efficient maritime data transfer system available. It is also data, file and format independent. Once information is on board it is available 24/7 after the data transfer is ciomplete, giving free on-ship access to offline portal content information.
