MCD-4800 Information |
While multiple computers can be supported with a installing a simple switch (aka Hub) to the Iridium Openport's Ethernet port, adding a wireless home router turns the Pilot into a WiFi hotspot for any authorized in-range computer to connect to. Adding a WiFi router also keeps installations simple since no Ethernet cables need to be ran to other locations in the vessel.
Iridium Pilot's three independent phone lines increase crew retention by keeping them connected with loved ones. Install cordless phones for the crew so they can have their privacy when making calls.. and incoming calls are free (although the calling party is charged for making the call).
The Iridium Pilot is backed by the Iridium Global Service program, an industry leading five-year limited manufacturer's warranty (one-year accessories) which offers exceptional value and peace of mind, and is backed by around-the-clock shipboard service at over 60 shipping ports worldwide. Iridium's Global Service Program keeps your maritime communications ship-shape at all times.

Each Pilot has three individual phone jacks (RJ-11) that each have a different "satellite" phone number. All three lines operate with any standard corded or cordless phones. The Pilot system includes a captain's phone with voicemail light and PIN safety protection, and a crew phone (Ground Control recommends using a standard analog corded or cordless phone in place of the crew phone). |
