Advances in technology now allow uninterrupted communications on a vessel while under way. Data Technology Solutions has an array of products specifically designed to provide a remote office on any vessel while operating in one of our service areas.

Shipping companies that operate sea-going cargo vessels, cruise lines, and sea-going tankers know the key to optimal crew performance is to maintain good morale. Life at sea is less stressful and mishaps are avoided when the crew works seamlessly as a team. In the past, keeping in touch with the office and home was very expensive due to the charges applied on a per minute basis. These charges discouraged operators from keeping in constant touch with a vessel, and crew members from keeping in touch with their loved ones.

Today an individual can subscribe to a service plan with a flat monthly fee regardless of the usage. This has permitted operators to extend their local area networks and telephone service to their vessels thus maintaining contact with key personnel.

DTS offers packages from Sea Tel, a leader in the marine stabilized antenna systems. We have a package to accommodate any requirement, from a single voice channel with internet connectivity, to multiple telephone lines with video conferencing capabilities.
