Maryville, TN (PRWEB) August 27, 2013 -- Global Marine Networks (GMN) the leaders in advancing satellite data speeds and services, today marked the 10th anniversary of XGate satellite data service – the platform that has developed from a satellite email optimization program to the worlds leading independent satellite data platform. Today, XGate connects satellite phone customers to the people and information that matter most via email, web, weather, social media and GPS Tracking services.
“XGate launched into a world where mobile satellite services were new, and using satellite data was difficult and expensive,” said Dr. Luis Soltero, CTO and founder of Global Marine Networks. “XGate has grown and succeeded by providing easy access with unparalleled airtime savings, data speed acceleration, and continually introducing cutting edge features.”
XGate is currently the leading independent provider of satellite data services, with a comprehensive suite of satellite-optimized services, including:
• Satellite Email – XGate accelerates email an average of 20 times, and provides virus scanning, filtering and attachment management to save users up to 85% on their satellite airtime
• Satellite Web – XGate’s companion service XWeb accelerates web browsing 3-5 times on average by stripping out backgrounds and animations, compressing images and text, blocking viruses, and re-rendering web pages for speed
• Weather Data – XGate works seamlessly with GRIB files and any standard GRIB file viewer to enable the automatic downloading of weather and oceanographic forecasts critical to travelers
• Social Media Services – XGate allows users to keep friends, family and co-workers up to day by posting to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. XGate optimizes both text and photos to let users share their adventure over all satellite connections, including narrowband satellite services.
XGate grew with the introduction of the XGate Satellite Email App for iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) and XGate Satellite Email for Android app with the launch of the RedPort Optimizer and associated apps, making XGate available to millions of mobile device users. By providing a satellite-connected Wi-Fi hotspot, Optimizer also let adventurers, boaters and remote workers use XGate with a new generation of small, lightweight devices.
