r ? Telia Mobitel Opens New Maritex Sub-Station In China REVIEW Telia Mobitel has opened a new remote- controlled sub-station for Maritex, located in Guangzhou in southern China. The Guangzhou node is expected to provide for a significant improve- ment in Maritex service in terms of capacity and geographical coverage. With this network expansion in place, Maritex operates a total of 50 HF-radio channels at remote controlled nodes in Sweden, Argentina, Panama, the Philippines, China and the U.S. For more information on Telia Mobitel Circle 68 on Reader Service Card KVH Offers TracVision Leasing Program KVH Industries is offering a leasing program for its TracVision marine satellite television antenna.

OGM now enables end-to-end, one-stop shopping for satellite equipment and air-time services such MED Installs Its 1 OOth VIPER System MED Associates, Inc. has performed the 100th installation of a VIPER system, this system for Tidewater vessel MTV Boss in the Gulf of Mexico. VIPER, a computer-based, satellite-linked vessel information and man- agement system, was developed exclusively for and with Tidewater Marine Inc. of New Orleans. This combination of technology has been in continuous, evolutionary development since its launch on the first vessel in 1994. At the heart of the system is OmniTRACS, a satellite-based communications and vessel tracking system developed and manufactured by QUALCOMM Inc. and distributed by San Diego-based BOATRACS. Utilizing the bene- fits of OmniTRACS, MED engineered and designed a unique, PC-based system which specifically addressed Tidewater's criteria of improved communications, better fleet management, reduced costs and reliability. The software report- edly meets all onboard informa- tion needs, including forms such as the master's log which are now generated with the comput- er. In addition, all of the data onboard is sent ashore several times per day. H "It's like a living thing," said Chuck Drobny, of MED. "VIPER has the flexibility to change as Tidewater learns more about its possibilities. Probably 90 percent of what VIPER can do was inspired by onboard personnel, and we are always listening for ways to improve it." By pushing a button, the captain can trans- mit data such as activity information, crew lists, parts requisitions, master's logs, acci- dent reports or fuel inventories via satellite. That data is used onshore by Tidewater, and is also sent to several of its customers' loca- tions where it is used to simplify management and control procedures (see diagram). MED develops and engineers customized information systems and provides comprehen- sive installation, training, certification, trou- ble shooting and support services. MED's cus- tomers operate supply boats offshore and river towboats on inland waterways.
