Harris CapRock installs comm system for Royal Caribbean Cruises


May 02, 2013 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- Harris (NYSE: HRS) CapRock Communications said it has completed installing advanced communications solutions onboard 33 Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. vessels that will improve crew morale, guest experiences and company operational efficiencies.

Harris was awarded the contract in April 2012, to provide communications services onboard Royal Caribbean's fleet for its Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises brands.

In nine months Harris CapRock completed the process, which included the de-installation and installation of more than 120 large antenna systems onboard the fleet. Each ship was equipped with Harris CapRock's SpaceTrack stabilized antenna systems, which deliver more than five times the amount of bandwidth previously available. The solution combines Ku-band and C-band connectivity to maximize service availability and avoid downtime.
