Today’s mobile-device world means many, many more bits and bytes per second needed. No wonder, then, that in the megayacht industry, there’s the all-important crew position called the electronic technical officer. It’s this person’s job to ensure the owners, guests, and the rest of the crew can use their smartphones, tablets, and more the same way they do on land. However, strong, consistent, and inexpensive bandwidth has been a problem for some. MTN Communications, which provides content and communications services globally for yachts, cruise ships, government vessels, and more, has a solution. It’s called MTN Maestro. The company says it optimizes onboard bandwidth up to 40 percent.
MTN Maestro does so with multiple networks, yet it’s just one platform, and one provider. Tapping multiple networks means big-data downloads, live-TV streaming, and more occur faster and more effectively. Bandwidth needs are shifted seamlessly, too. MTN Maestro is customized according to your yacht’s needs, too. It can handle video conferencing, live TV, Internet, voice, and more.
Furthermore, MTN Maestro can adapt to data demand changes from you and your guests as well as your crew. Chances are, you alone have at least two or three Web-enabled devices. Now consider how many more come aboard with the rest of your family. Gone are the days of shrugging our shoulders when we have service slowdowns in the islands. We’ve all come to expect reliable data downloads whether we’re in Miami or Malta. (And when it comes to the electronic technical officer, he or she doesn’t need the extra headaches of spotty service.) Then consider the change in data needs that occur when just your crew is aboard, taking your yacht to the next season’s base.
MTN Maestro doesn’t just promise better coverage. It’s designed to have a relatively small footprint aboard as well. It’s further designed to be simple. And, perhaps best of all, MTN Maestro promises to be scalable as MTN and its partners add services.
