[May 13, 2013] Harris installs communications solutions for Royal Caribbean Cruises Tweet May 13, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Harris CapRock Communications, a provider of managed communication solutions, has completed installing communications solutions onboard 33 vessels for Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Harris had won the contract on April 2012, to provide communications services onboard Royal Caribbean's fleet for its Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises brands. "The new high performing communication service deployed across our fleet enables innovative information technology solutions that improve both the crew and the guest experience while also improving our operational efficiency. Harris CapRock's capability as a world-class communications systems integrator makes this possible through seamless service delivery backed by 24/7 monitoring to ensure communications are always on," said Bill Martin, vice president and chief information officer, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. In nine months Harris CapRock has reportedly 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 5 times the amount of bandwidth previously available. The solution combines Ku-band and C-band connectivity to maximize service availability and avoid downtime. Installations spanned across more than 16 ports in the US, Europe, and Asia Pacific, and involved more than 59,000 individual components, the company said. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
