Reflecting the trend towards more complex shipboard networks and new satellite service introductions, Nimbus is designed to simplify ship and shorebased communications by enabling users to choose the applications and levels of user control that suit them best. customer s priorities, from essential voice Maritime Services & Solutions SHORE APPLICATIONS VSAT, Inmarsat, Iridium, Thuraya Satellites Terminals (VSAT, FBB, Certus, IOP, 3G/LTE) Remote Support Remote Configuration Traffic Monitoring 2/7/365 Help Desk Support (VPN) CIRRUS Globecomm Maritime Server GLOBECOMM NOC Internet Teleport/Hub SHIP APPLICATIONS M2M Network Crew Network NIMBUS Business Network BUSINESS APPLICATIONS SHIP OWNER/ MANAGER IT (3G/G/LTE) SHIP OWNER/ MANAGER OPERATIONS GLOBECOMM SUPPORT M2M APPLICATIONS Engine Machinery Video Surveillance ECDIS Updates CREW APPLICATIONS Accelerated Web Browsing SMS Online Training Accelerated Web Browsing Instant Messaging Voice /Video Conferencing Position Reporting Forms (enoad)

3 Nimbus Switch In order to manage data connectivity from multiple satellite and LTE providers, Nimbus can act as the network interface, controlling all available connection paths onboard ship. Nimbus Switch manages automatic switching between the primary, secondary or tertiary connectivity paths to provide a seamless communications experience. Nimbus Key Features Cirrus Portal To help superintendents manage network settings by vessel or across a fleet, Globecomm provides a secure web portal, Cirrus for ship and shoreside users alike. Cirrus can be used As the vessel moves between different network sources, Nimbus provides the best available network, prioritized by speed or by cost according to the customer preference. Custom firewall profiles can be applied to enable selective access to business and crew networks, business-only web access and or only business depending on the connectivity path available. to manage preferred satellite connectivity and redundancy, configure user accounts, establish firewall rules and manage updates. Thanks to its detailed real-time monitoring and reporting tools, Cirrus provides access to a range of fleet-wide control features, giving full control over even a large fleet at any time. For routine or trouble shooting maintenance, Cirrus also enables remote connection to shipboard PCs via the Nimbus box. Nimbus Secure Globecomm s network and server security protocols help extend another layer of protection to customer data at a time when cyber security has become of paramount importance to maritime users. The wide variety of hardware, operating systems and software in use onboard ship has made maintaining quality of service and security across networks more and more challenging.

4 Nimbus Key Features Continued Nimbus features built-in security against viruses and cyber infection with two fully-managed firewalls on the smartbox and the Cirrus shoreside portal, providing robust intrusion prevention. For additional security, shore to ship connections are encrypted using the latest standards and end-to-end connectivity is via a private IP space with no exposure to the public internet. Nimbus also ensures the separation of crew and business networks so a malware infection cannot spread from one to the other. Nimbus AV For effective anti-virus protection, Nimbus integrates the Port-IT antivirus service which adds a further protection layer to shipboard devices. Optimised to use minimal system and satellite resources, Port-IT provides compressed, automatic updates to a central point on the vessel. Proactive protection includes viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware, adware, and rootkits, securing all attachments, one of the biggest cyber risks. Nimbus Browse Nimbus makes browsing the web for news, sport or social content a premium experience by applying smart compression, caching and optimization in the process benefiting users of the service and making the ship s network more efficient. Fleet managers and owners can retain control of content, using a MIME filter to block selected audio, images and/or video content. In addition, it is possible to filter web traffic utilizing a white or black list and define key words that will also be blocked. In benchmark tests Globecomm demonstrated that standard web pages will load up to 10 times faster when using Nimbus Browse versus a direct internet connection over a Globecomm VSAT link. Data consumption was also about 10% of the volume used over the direct connection. Nimbus Mail Nimbus Mail is a feature-rich service, designed to make transfer and management more efficient for maritime users. Efficiency features include message compression, header removal, transfer resume and push mail, giving Nimbus Mail users an improved experience compared to standard shoreside applications.

Nimbus Remote Nimbus Remote provides a convenient and cost efficient way to access any PC or other network device connected via Nimbus onboard ship. Shore-based IT users can reach and remotely manage their network assets, enabling them to minimize time spent visiting the vessel, as well as eliminate the need to subscribe to other remote management applications. Nimbus Crew Nimbus gives shipmanagers and owners the ability to manage crew communications in the way they prefer. This can range from free of charge, unlimited internet access, to combinations of free and paidfor allowances for a monthly fee or pay-as-you-go where the crew member is charged for all data they consume.
