Brothers Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand and their crew may take to the seas in a vessel resembling a pirate ship. It offers mariners a host of features, including global coverage for its voice, text and low-speed data services, as well as Inmarsat's SOS emergency calling capability and an additional SIM for multiple users. Everyone we spoke to on the phone commented on its clarity saying they could hear us so well." The Oceana 800 FleetPhone Terminal phone was supplied by the BEAM Communications, with airtime from Inmarsat distribution partner Stratos. "We've been using it to call in for weather reports and to keep in touch with fish processors, as well as family and friends. "We were extremely pleased with the performance of the BEAM Oceana 800 Fleetphone - particularly the voice quality of the service," said Captain Andy. Along with their four-man crew, they put BEAM's Oceana 800 terminal accessing Inmarsat's new low-cost satellite phone service, FleetPhone, through its paces. And although the exterior of their boat looks similar to a pirate ship from yesteryear, both of them prefer to rely on the latest modern technology systems while working off Alaska in the Bering Sea. Time Bandit, the 34.44 metre-long (113ft) boat, named after the motion picture of the same name, is only on a mission to capture king crabs rather than human beings.
