The global and maritime connectivity teams at Telecom26 are delighted to announce a new partnership with Faroese Telecom which will improve connectivity for Telecom26 customers in the Faroe Islands – and the fishermen who work the surrounding seas.
At last month’s Mobile World Congress we showcased Talk, Text & Travel, our new full mobile service for SMS, voice and data. The USP for this service – and one of the reasons our phones and inboxes are so busy – is that people don’t have to replace their existing subscriptions to use Talk, Text & Travel.
The welfare of crews on-board commercial vessels is a subject that our maritime connectivity team has discussed before especially during COVID. This recent piece in The Financial Times The plight of ship crews stranded at sea says that “When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, more than 300,000 commercial seafarers were left stranded on their ships well past the expiry of their contracts, because virus control measures and travel restrictions prevented crews from being rotated. Part of the problem then was the length of time it took many countries to classify them as “key workers” in spite of the fact that their work was, quite clearly, key”.
As predicted in earlier blogs, 5G has been centre stage at this week’s Mobile Congress. In this article in telecoms.com “HPE: 4G was all about consumer…5G is all about enterprise”, the writer reports that “when it comes to 5G, all the action is in the enterprise space” with “big tech (or the wider tech industry, however you want to phrase it) …becoming increasingly intertwined with the telco sector”.
As eSIMs continue to replace physical SIMs, Telecom26 and Trasna today announced that they have developed the industry’s most comprehensive eSIM management solution which enables router manufacturers to offer their customers an efficient and user-friendly way to manage their eSIMs on their existing SIM-based devices.
