Where collaboration tools are concerned, we tend to think about satellite connectivity first, then about the fundamental tools all teams need to stay hyper connected, such as video meetings, group messaging, file sharing and calling. Why, because we know that teams working in the most isolated of environments need reliable tools that just work, ensuring they can remain effective, whether they are sharing screens or troubleshooting engine challenges on a vessel in the middle of the Pacific Ocean or simply sending a HQSE report to a colleague.
Now whilst most team collaboration platforms include the key tools listed above, the way these tools are developed for satellite networks if they are to support your teams is vital. That’s why we have developed Loft, the video conferencing app marketplace solution that is packed with features that will help make your online team and customer meetings run seamlessly over satellite networks.
We are delighted to add Loft to our marketplace knowing that it will really help to solve an online connectivity challenge many of our customers and partners face. Watch this space, there are lots more features to come. Here is a summary of the May release:
