America's Cup Winner Chooses Axxess Marine and FX System

Posted: Mar 16, 2019

Alalunga, the 99.11ft (30.21m) Swan 100 FD sail yacht built by Nautor's SWAN, now has an updated communication system. The vessel's owners are also former owners of Alinghi, the famous America's Cup winner in both 2003 and 2007, and they chose Axxess Marine and the FX system for the flexibility and quality of service.

Setup: Global LTE-A HD2 with Media fast and two AX 50 Omni Directional antennas and Sailor 80 GX antenna with Sailor 150 FBB.

Coverage globally with FBB/ Inmarsat FX and LTE cellular were a requirement for this vessel. IPTV streaming over the Inmarsat system was also a requirement, and Axxess Marine has fulfilled this commitment successfully.
