Everyone on board can use their own cell phone or PDA for voice calls, text and data offshore or beyond the horizon.

This is the first full service GSM on board solution.

This is the first full service GSM on board solution designed specifically for super yachts that works, is flexible and is affordable!

In partnership with MCP, the preferred solution on hundreds of the world's leading cruise ships and ferries, e3 Systems can now offer on board GSM services for over 400 GSM networks.

This means that your cell phone, iPhone or Blackberry will work anywhere you have VSAT service, even in the middle of the ocean.

It's a lifestyle extension.

• The owners and guests expect to be able to use their phone in their private planes, in their remote villas, on a cruise ship and now on their yachts too! Like the internet on board this will become a 'must have' service.
• Anyone coming on board can use their own cell phone with their own contacts when in and out of range of land based GSM networks.
• Make and receive voice calls exactly as you do ashore.
• You can send and receive texts and emails without seeing the "No Service" message on the phone display.
• Keep your emails, contacts and calendars synchronised with your home server.
• Your phone will work when in a country where there is no GSM service provider.
• Likewise the phone will work in those beautiful remote locations where the local service doesn't reach like when anchored inside that coral atoll!
• You will also have your own service where the local service is poor or unreliable such as in the Caribbean and Pacific Islands.
• With fixed roaming prices you can save money (depending on the home network) and as your billing is via the home network, you will have a record of calls made.

 

Make yacht management easier and cheaper

• Great selling point for potential charterers - use your own phone on board.
• No need to bill variable call charges as calls appear on the user's own cell phone bill.
• Fixed price service fees make billing to charterers easier.
• There is no need to instruct guests on how to use the yachts communication systems.
• Using the unique "Crew SIM" the crew can be connected at rates cheaper than VOIP, Inmarsat, GYMSIM or standard GSM roaming.

 

Why is eCell@Sea better than any other service?

• It supports roaming with almost every cellular service worldwide so most charter guests will be able to use it.
• Extremely flexible service plans that will allow from 3 to 12 months use per year.
• The system works with any VSAT service thus it is almost global.
• The flexible service plans are designed to match both the vessels use and the flexible VSAT plans available today.
• Crew SIM cards are available for use with the system at a local onboard call rate.
• Specified cell phones can be registered to work with the system to avoid unauthorised use by third party cell phones.
• GPRS or EDGE data is available for cell, smart phones, PDAs and laptops.
• The yacht system and service is from MCP Maritime Communications Partners AS, the preferred solution for GSM services on cruise ships and ferries.

 

eCell@Sea uses the very latest and best breed technology to provide data and voice cellular service to guests and crew while at sea.
