Buzz Marine: Announces Another Substantial Fleet Order for the HubbaX 4

Buzz marine has delivered over 40 of its HubbaX 4 Duo mobile broadband systems to Chile for use on the UltraNav and UltraTug fleets of inshore vessels, tugs and pilot boats. The order through Humboldt Ship Management in Santiago is one of a number of recent fleet orders from around the world for the HubbaX 4 Duo which has confirmed the product as mobile communication system of choice for inshore commercial vessels.

The HubbaX 4 Duo provides considerable savings on broadband and communication costs for vessels operating up to 20 miles offshore which would formerly be using VSAT. For those vessels which previously were restricted to just VHF communications the installation of a HubbaX 4 Duo system opens an efficient and flexible communication path which improves efficiency and management of the vessels.

Steve Smith, managing director of Buzz Marine said, “Our HubbaX 4 Duo is now established as an effective alternative to VSAT when operating within mobile access. With our powerful and robust marine specific antennas we are able to provide effective connection when the vessel is operating even up to 20 miles offshore which encompasses a range of vessels from ferries and tugs to coastal merchant ships. Passing around the South American coast between mobile providers is handled seamlessly by our duel SIM facility and for those vessels which operate beyond our effective mobile access, the system can automatically flip to the ships VSAT with our VSAT auto-switch facility. We are looking forward to working with Humboldt Ship Management again in the near future with other vessels in their substantial management fleet located in other parts of South America.”

The HubbaX 4 Duo offers multi frequency options to allow use in various global regions. The 9-40V DC power supply or 110 – 240v AC with EU/US or UK style plug options provide highly flexible installation requirements ensuring the HubbaX 4 Duo can be used on virtually any vessel afloat. The custom designed MIMO high gain antenna is multi directional to optimise the very best reception from the strongest signal available. Its robust construction has been extensively tested to withstand the rigours of the saltwater environment and UV attack.

With a retail price of just £995 +vat where applicable, the multifunctional HubbaX 4 Duo provides a highly cost effective communications option for any vessel operating in coastal waters and will benefit from the new low cost mobile broadband SIM from Buzz Marine which provides Global Roaming throughout Europe and over many countries around the world.
