Singapore Telecommunications Limited (SingTel) announced that it has received the prestigious 2008 Asia Pacific Frost & Sullivan Technology Leadership Award in the field of Maritime Broadband Communications.
SingTel was bestowed this award for its leadership in developing innovative solutions to improve communications at sea and address the rising challenges of the maritime industry. Solutions such as SingTel’s Office-At-Sea suite of maritime applications, which enables vessels to communicate seamlessly and cost-effectively with their headquarters on land, were recognized for boosting business productivity and improving crew welfare. Other notable innovations by SingTel include the world’s first 1.5-metre C-band stabilised satellite antenna. Co-designed with its partner SeaTel, this enables sea-going vessels to enjoy significantly higher bandwidth (up to 6Mbps) than a traditional 2.4-metre C-band antenna. The award also recognizes SingTel’s collaboration with the Singapore Maritime Academy (SMA) to set a new benchmark in maritime education. Through this initiative, SingTel helped to establish the Satcom@SMA maritime innovation hub. The first of its kind in Asia Pacific, this facility, which is fitted with state-of-the-art equipment, serves as a platform for the development of new applications and solutions. SingTel also played an important role in developing a new maritime satellite communications module to be included in SMA’s syllabus, which offers practical experience in the use of satellite communication systems and applications for ships.
