For Ship Equip 2011 has started off with a bang as the total number of installed SEVSAT systems passed 900.
"We have anticipated this for a while" says CEO Ivar Nesset: “As the installation rate hit 24 SEVSATS in December 2010, or more than one new SEVSAT per working day we saw the installed base grow quickly towards 900. It is what we have planned for and built our organization for. Still it could not have happened without all our loyal but also very challenging and demanding customers which have believed in our product and our capability. We owe them everything Mr. Nesset says and continues: “Our main focus’ will be to continue providing superior support and unsurpassed uptime on our service. Providing 20 Gigabytes of data and voice communication per ship per month at a low fixed price is hard for anyone to compete against.”
