We appreciate your continued support.
With various carriers announcing more accessible pricing plans for VSAT services, the adoption rate of broadband environments on ships has significantly increased. In response, we are pleased to announce the launch of our next-generation shipboard email system, ORiON Plus Mail, optimized for broadband environments.
Unlike traditional shipboard email systems, ORiON Plus Mail is a cloud-based service. The primary feature is that email data is stored on cloud servers on the internet, not on the ship’s PC. Therefore, there is no need for backup on the vessel. Even if the ship’s PC encounters an issue, a new PC can be set up with minimal configuration and seamlessly inherit the previous email data.
Additionally, unlike webmail systems such as Office365 or Gmail, ORiON Plus Mail allows viewing and composing emails offline. This ensures that, similar to traditional shipboard email, you can access and edit past emails even when satellite communication is unavailable.
Below are the key benefits of ORiON Plus Mail:
・Improved Maintenance:
・No need for backups as data is stored in the cloud
・Easy setup without special software
・Possibility to have multiple backup email PCs
・Enhanced Operation:
・Shore-based managers can access the ship’s mailbox
・No need to transfer data during PC repairs or replacements
・Increased Security:
・Encrypted communication
・Prevention of unauthorized access with token keys
・Carrier-Free Open System:
・Compatible with various communication infrastructures like VSAT, FX, FBB, Iridium, and 4G
・Usable with different communication carriers such as KDDI, Marlink, Stratos, and Satcom Global
ORiON Plus Mail is ideal for high-speed, high-capacity communication infrastructures like VSAT and FX. We highly recommend ORiON Plus Mail for ships contracted with plans of 4GB/month or more.
We will continue to offer the traditional ORCA Mail service. For ships on plans of 250MB/month or less, please continue using the traditional ORCA Mail.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your continued support of ORCA’s services.
