IEC Telecom is committed to empowering vessel owners with integrated and scalable communication services that ensure improved safety for the crew and better working conditions onboard small and mid-sized vessels. The fishing industry, in general, and the Spanish fishing sector, in particular, is an important market for the company.
At Navalia 2022, the most important trade show for this sector in Spain, IEC Telecom showcased Iridium GMDSS, which delivers safety services at 25% of the cost of current equipment, enabling more fishing vessels to access life-saving and efficient sea-to-shore communications. In addition, IEC Telecom presented its VSAT offer for mid-sized vessels over the GX60 NX Ka/Ku terminal, which can easily be installed and quickly deployed.
