4 : Globecomm s answer to make the unknown, known se@comm is a simple to use software communication suite that manages all of your , data and online communication requirements while at sea. se@comm makes currently installed Iridium or Inmarsat communication systems including the latest broadband services from both Inmarsat and Iridium far more efficient, using link optimization and advanced compression algorithms. Benefiting both vessel owners and crew members, se@comm controls costs while providing services typically expected with land-based communications. Cost Control for Maritime Communications se@comm is an advanced maritime communication management system designed to address the specific needs of the vessel Master and Shipping Company. It allows complete control of the communication circuit, whether that be a legacy dial-up type, or the more recent broadband connections now available to vessels at sea. Software and Hardware Firewalls are put in place to ensure that no unwanted or unnecessary data is transmitted. Permitted websites can be defined by name or IP Address, ensuring that users can only browse to allowed destinations, if at all. All this is done in keeping with Telaurus traditional philosophy of pricing transparency, meaning that Users not only know the cost of their s before they are sent, but now they can see in real-time the actual costs of any web-browsing or remote access session. se@comm includes special features that support cost reduction and efficient vessel management. se@forms SM converts your most common forms into electronic templates se@noad SM cost-effective electronic submission of US Coast Guard Notice of Arrival/ Departure forms. se@remote SM allows fleet IT staff to conduct remote maintenance and updates to shipboard computers. se@image SM is a graphic management tool that helps users select the appropriate graphic size and resolution. se@shield SM centrally managed anti-virus system that provides effective virus monitoring & quarantining protection for all the computers on a vessel s computer network. se@archive SM provides the Ship-Owner/Manager a complete archive of all his vessel s data communications. Dependent upon the service level subscribed to (Bronze, Silver or Gold) the customer can either choose to store his data locally at his own premises, or make use of the Globecomm data center to store his data for 6 to 12 months with full access to search and read archived s. se@track SM allows a ship s manager to see his vessels position (actual and historic) on a graphical representation. se@weather SM se@weather from Globecomm and AWT is an icon-driven graphical marine weather analysis and display system that provides on-board and around-the-clock global weather information. 4
