Irish Ferries getting GSM coverage at Sea
Date: 03 Apr 2007 00:00 Source: Cellular-NewsMaritime Communications Partner (MCP) has signed a contract with Irish Ferries to deliver GSM coverage onboard the MV Isle of Inishmore and the 50,000 ton MV Ulysses, the largest car ferry in the world. This follows the successful installation of MCP's CellAtSea service onboard Irish Ferries' MV Normandy on the Ireland-France route at the beginning of 2006.
Irish Ferries is Ireland's leading passenger/ro-ro ferry company. Both the MV Isle of Inishmore and the MV Ulysees provide passengers with daily sea travel between Ireland and Britain. The MV Isle of Inishmore sails between Rosslare and Pembroke. The MV Ulysees sails from the heart of Dublin to Holyhead and has the capacity to carry up to 2,000 passengers, 1,342 cars or 240 trucks.
For the passengers, the mobile services are transparent, readily available on their own personal mobile phone, operating seamlessly through MCP's network in the same way as when travelling abroad. MCP tariffs all calls, and handles the revenue flow generated by the networks, through industry standard billing and accounting systems. The customers are charged by their home operator through normal invoicing routines.
