LIMERICK, IRELAND--(Marketwired - Dec 9, 2015) - One Horizon Group, Inc. (
Globecomm is one of the premier satellite communications companies and is a pioneer in the design and integration of high quality satellite communications systems. Globecomm provides specialized communication products to support its global services to media, wireless, government, maritime and enterprise customers.
One Horizon further expands its licensee base through the delivery of a new Globecomm branded crew-calling VoIP app. Globecomm will purchase pre-paid calling cards from One Horizon and resell to ship crews through its network of maritime distribution channels. Globecomm has a global operation covering thousands of vessels. The revenue possibilities of One Horizon for this service are significant with our observed monthly revenue per vessel of one hundred and fifty US Dollars. Phone calls to friends and family will be carried through the One Horizon Public Switched Telephone Network ("PSTN") in Asia, Europe and North America and billed to the crew on a pay-as-you-go basis at competitive rates.
One Horizon's optimized technology was successfully trialed by Globecomm and is an ideal solution for smaller capacity internet connections like satellite internet because of its low bandwidth usage and high voice quality. The Company's track record of successful maritime deployments with Singapore Telecommunications ("Singtel") and Smart Communications in the Philippines ("Smart") were key reference deployments over satellite that Globecomm considered as part of their selection process.
One Horizon Group CEO, Brian Collins, noted, "We were delighted to be able to expand our VoIP as a Service platform to even more high quality maritime operators like Globecomm. Our track record of success in low bandwidth conditions like those at sea or at remote mining sites is a key driver for these new revenue streams in our business. Both teams worked tirelessly to deliver a truly high quality and affordable calling solution for the crews aboard the Globecomm fleets."
The Globecomm app can be downloaded from the Android Google Play store and from Apple's iTunes App store.
