“The relationship with Orange gives us
the ability to reach more ships at sea with a larger variety of
advanced communications,” said Emil Regard, Chief Executive Officer

Orange is providing BlueTide with managed global Ku band VSAT
capacity, with the ability to switch to alternative satellite beams
for seamless global coverage. BlueTide can provide vessels with
live video surveillance, cybersecurity and systems monitoring, all
high-end solutions delivered on the Orange network for seamless
availability on a global scale.
“The relationship with Orange gives us the ability to reach more
ships at sea with a larger variety of advanced communications,”
said Emil Regard, Chief Executive Officer for BlueTide
Communications. “The maritime industry depends on consistent,
reliable communications between ship and port to operate. Only
Orange has a true, international network to make that connection.
Running our solutions through Orange will have a transformative
effect on how maritime shipping is conducted.”
The Orange satellite network can ensure consistent coverage in
remote regions, opening more shipping lanes for travel. It also
ensures high-quality communications for voice, video, and data. A
ship at sea would therefore be able to give and receive real-time
updates on its navigation path, better predict inclement weather,
and access corporate applications in the cloud. The impact on crew
welfare is significant as well, with ships having the full
amenities of home, including Internet, movies/shows and phone
service.
The Orange/BlueTide collaboration paves the way for smarter
ships through the Internet of Things. Reliable broadband
connectivity can support the remote monitoring of a ship’s
mechanical components, enabling predictive maintenance. The same
network can be used to remotely track pieces of cargo in transit to
ascertain location, supply levels, temperature, travel conditions,
and security.
“BlueTide is a leader in the maritime industry, and a great
North American addition to Orange’s established pedigree of
satellite communications customers,” said Rob Willcock, senior vice
president of the Americas at Orange Business Services. “Their
expertise and knowledge about the maritime business, matched with
our integrated, end-to-end network will push new innovations to
fleets around the world.”
