Mariners Can Access Social Nertworks via GMN XGate

Mariners & others in remote locations can now update Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter via satellite phone with Gobal Marine Network's GMN XGate

Global Marine Networks (GMN), providers of satellite data speed and services, announce the ability to update Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter via satellite phone, with the XGate Satellite Phone Data Service and a compatible computer. XGate Social services are immediately available to XGate subscribers in addition to accelerated satellite phone email, web browsing and weather data service.

“Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are the way millions of people share their lives with others every day. Yet until now satellite phone users, who are often in the remote places or emergency situations where they most want to update others of their status, have found it hard to post to social media sites,” said Dr. Luis Soltero, President and CTO of GMN.
“Now, satellite phone users can update all of their friends, business contacts or followers with the press of a button in the XGate application.”

XGate is a fast, reliable and easy-to-use satellite phone email, web, weather data – and now – social media service. Features include:

•     Up to 20 times faster email transfer speeds through compression and custom server protocols
•     Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn posting
•     Mid-file restart and automatic satellite phone connection control
•     Access to free GRIB weather files

XGate’s associated XWeb satellite phone web browsing service accelerates data an average of three to five times faster than uncompressed rates through compression, page re-rendering and ad-blocking, giving users easier and more reliable access to web sites.
