Xantic Makes Internet Via Satellite Faster
Xantic announced the launch of Easy Accelerator, an application designed to make browsing the internet via satellite faster and cheaper than ever before. Available free of charge from Xanticâs website, Easy Accelerator optimizes internet and intranet usage by reducing the size of the selected web page content. A proxy computer located at a Land Earth Station âdownsizesâ pictures, for example, by up to 80 percent, depending on the settings chosen. Audio files and text can also be reduced. As a result, browsing is much faster and the userâs satellite costs can be decreased by as much as 90 percent. Inmarsat has co-financed the development of this new service.

Super-Hub Professional also provides all the standard features required for ship-shore communicationsâŚ
