Navitas now has a dedicated team of seven, led by the director of off-Island business development, Bo Pinel, who says the company is in a strong position to exploit this niche market.
JT installed its first network last year aboard luxury Star Cruise ship Superstar Virgo, which sails the Asia-Pacific.
The maritime GSM system enables passengers and crew to use their mobile phones and JT says the system is cheaper and more flexible than the fixed satellite telephones that were previously the only link to shore.
