Oceania Wireless Voice & Data Services!
Hi Everyone,
I received this press release from SeaMobile and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com SeaMobile(TM) Signs Agreement with Oceania Cruises to Deliver Unmatched Wireless Voice & Data Services to Personal Mobile Devices at Sea SEATTL Feb. 9, 2006 SeaMobile Inc., a leading global provider of advanced at-sea wireless voice and data communications services, announced today it has signed an agreement with Oceania Cruises, the world's largest upscale cruise line, to provide communication solutions for its guests throughout the world. The first ship in the Oceania Cruises fleet to deploy the SeaMobile advanced wireless services will be the line's flagship, Regatta. Guests and staff aboard the ship will be able to use their own cellular phones and wireless PDAs while at sea, just as they do on land. Charges for calls and data services while at sea will simply appear on the wireless customer's bill from their home carrier. The agreement between Oceania Cruises and SeaMobile brings together two best-in-class companies committed to delivering a superior customer experience. For the third year in a row, Oceania Cruises was recognized as one of the world's best cruise lines in the prestigious 2005 World's Best Awards by Travel + Leisure Magazine and 2006 Conde Nast Traveler Gold List. As a company focused solely on providing wireless communication services to the maritime industry, SeaMobile offers a unique opportunity for cruise lines to realize greater revenue associated with these services aboard its ships. SeaMobile's leadership team includes proven business and technology leaders who have repeated success in using technology advantages to successfully deliver services to significant markets over the past two decades. They were the founders and growth leaders for McCaw Cellular Communications, AT&T Wireless Services, Microsoft, DSS Direct/DIRECTV, Nextel and other top telecommunications and software companies. SeaMobile's proprietary technology is a sophisticated IP/software-based solution that supports any type of phone or mobile device (GSM, GPRS or CDMA) used by the wireless customer when accessing the SeaMobile network at sea. This allows virtually anyone aboard any vessel at sea to use voice and data services available through their wireless home carrier, just as they would on land. As digital applications proliferate in the future, the SeaMobile solution allows maximum scalability and flexibility to collaborate with cruise lines in developing customized and branded applications to enhance the passenger's cruise experience, improve operations, and generate additional cruise line revenue. "Oceania Cruises is consistently recognized as an innovator and leader in the cruise industry because of our fine cuisine, award-winning itineraries and excellent service," said Oceania Cruises' President and CEO Frank Del Rio. "We have selected SeaMobile because of their service-oriented approach to helping guests stay connected to family, friends and business associates while at sea. By providing SeaMobile's connectivity solution, our guests will continue to experience the finest services aboard our ships." "We are so very pleased to have signed an agreement with Oceania Cruises," said SeaMobile President and CEO William D. Marks. "The cruise industry is growing at a rapid pace and attracting a new profile of guests who prefer to have the choice of staying connected while enjoying an elegant cruise experience like that offered by Oceania Cruises. We are delighted that Oceania Cruises has chosen SeaMobile to offer leading edge wireless service as a complement to the many other premium services offered on board."
