Maryville, TN (PRWEB) December 17, 2015 -- RedPort Global, the leader in providing satellite voice and data products and services, today announced the launch of Optimizer Premier – a VoIP gateway and data router that provides an all-in-one solution for boaters looking to get the most out of all available data connections.

Optimizer Premier also lets users optimize data usage with onboard email and web compression services, and manage access for passengers and crew with an included captive portal.
“Boaters are demanding maximum access to data services as boats have become an extension of home and office,” said Dr. Luis Soltero, CTO of RedPort Global. “Optimizer Premier gives the people who live, work and play on boats access to Wi-Fi and cellular data where it’s available and their satellite broadband service everywhere else. Plus, it has the services needed to get the most out of every kilobyte, whether it be for email, web browsing, social media, weather or GPS Tracking.”
Optimizer Premier joins the groundbreaking line of RedPort Optimizer products, including Optimizer Personal Satellite Wi-Fi Hotspot, and Optimizer Voice a multi-user satellite data router with voice capabilities, with which Optimizer Premier shares many features.
