Globecomm Maritime Completes Major Implementation Milestone with Leading Operator

Globecomm Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: GCOM), a leading global provider of communications solutions and services, has completed a maritime milestone, installing its 100th se@COMM system for the customer Briese Schiffahrts.

The se@COMM system and Satlink Inmarsat FB250 FleetBroadband terminal were supplied and installed by Telaurus, a Globecomm company, on the 2008-built combination carrier BBC Jade in March 2011, two years after Briese became the first company in Europe to fit FleetBroadband FB150 on its coastal vessel Saxum.

The migration to FleetBroadband using the se@COMM system involved the replacement of Briese’s legacy communications and email messaging system, reflecting greater volumes of critical data traffic and the need for transparency in managing the cost of ship-shore messaging.

Holger Boerchers Briese Schiffahrts IT manager said: "The fleetwide transition towards se@COMM and Fleet Broadband has been a long process that needed great commitment and professionalism from all those involved. We are pleased to have achieved the 100th installation after working so closely with Globecomm Maritime and look forward to a continuing collaboration with them.”

Malcolm McMaster, VP Globecomm Maritime and President Telaurus Communications, said: "Our work with Briese is a great example of how a long-term collaboration can generate real savings and efficiencies across a fleet. Briese’s move towards broadband demonstrates their desire to lead the trend in maritime communications, and teaming that with se@COMM allows them to keep control of costs, with a powerful, flexible product.”

Globecomm Maritime’s flagship product, se@COMM, allows users to communicate via email, fax, telex and SMS, as well as permitting controlled web browsing. se@COMM features real-time email delivery capabilities and unique pre-pricing by the kilobit, enabling users to control their communication spends.

se@COMM provides a high level of flexibility to address the diverse needs of ship owners and ship management companies, offering ships the benefits of shore-based email systems, while achieving an average 50% reduction on normally incurred costs.

se@COMM is enabled to operate with the latest generation of communications satellites offering background Internet Protocol-enabled broadband services. This means that users of these new satellite services can now do so secure in the knowledge that se@COMM is protecting them from unauthorized and potentially expensive usage or access to the internet.
