International Communications Group: International Communications Group Successfully Integrates NxtMail Server With Cobham InMarSat Satcom Systems

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Jun 03, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- (June 4, 2009) - International Communications Group (ICG) has successfully developed an interface between its NxtMail Server and the SDU-7300 Swift 64 and SDU-7320 Swift Broadband Satcom systems that makes it possible for up to eight on-board Wi-Fi devices to simultaneously access the services provided by the InMarSat high speed data channel.


"This integration of the NxtMail Server and Cobham SDUs expands the potential market for ICG's products," said Jeff Saucedo, ICG's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "The NxtMail server is now configured to connect to both Inmarsat and Iridium systems simultaneously allowing operators with Inmarsat installed equipment to have the benefit of the advanced technology, capacity and versatility that was previously only available to those utilizing the ICG Iridium system," Saucedo added.

The enhanced NxtMail server is the least expensive E-mail solution on the market. It facilitates and manages communications and data routing with any of the ICG NxtLink Iridium Systems such as the ICS-100 and 200. The integration with the Cobham SDUs means that operators of those units will now be able to interface a variety of Wi-Fi enabled devices, including Blackberrys, IPhones and mail services such as Blackberry Internet Service (BIS), Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES), Blackberry PIN messaging, Instant Messenger, MS Exchange Server ActiveSync, and a variety of webmail services.

"We're very pleased that ICG and Cobham have created this interconnectivity because it provides our mutual customers with additional choices and capabilities to meet their airborne communications needs," said Jeff Salata, General Manager of Cobham Antenna Systems.

Data Center Transformation to SDN-based architecture: Upgrade cycle or Expansion?

Mass adoption of SDN will definitely drive acceleration in data center upgrade cycles - once a critical mass of companies adopt it, their competitors will need to hurry to catch up, just to stay competitive.

Highlights From Interop Las Vegas 2015

As you may already know from reading Bill's recent post, several members of the Fiber Mountain team recently made the cross-country journey from Cheshire, Connecticut, to Interop, taking place in Las Vegas. I was looking forward to this year's show as much as any I can remember, due in part to our nomination for a Best of Interop Award, and because of the announcements we planned to make.

Reflections from an Interop Veteran and Alum

When I returned to the Fiber Mountain™ offices in Connecticut after exhibiting at Interop Las Vegas 2015, I couldn't help but think about how much the event has evolved through the years. I have been attending this seminal IT and networking conference since its inception in 1986 when it was called the TCP/IP Vendor Workshop, focused on interoperability of various TCP/IP program stacks.
