exchanging e-mails with company's server
Compresses/decompresses body & attachments before sending/receiving
Fetches and forwards e-mail on board from any pop3/imap account
Successful delivery notification
Crew e-mail options - Crew users can access any webmail or any other client-
server e-mail service (provided the necessary firewall rules are applied)
consuming the allowance of data pins.
No user action is required, i.e. crew e-mail belongs to HQ mail system
File Synchronization

     Exchange folders between ship & shore
     Compress files before submitting
     Send only the differences in existing files
     Schedule the transfer (on file change / in predefined time periods)
Failover & Load Balancing / Multi Voice / Web Services

  traffic optimization
  Up to 9 concurrent calls
  The quality of the voice is the same as quality when using the regular Inmarsat voice
  channel
Filtering of e-mails and Access Control Lists

    Definition of which sites to allow/deny Internet access
    Definition of e-mails/domains to allow/deny sent or received e-mails
    Max. size of e-mails sent/received
    All the filters are applied to the source – saving unnecessary traffic
    Usage restriction per time period and/or policy
     File type filtering for e-mail and web, including Smart e-mail filtering: that
    allows to define any complicated business rule, by combining e-mail
    attributes like priority, size, recipients and system properties like current
    provider, time periods etc
    Web Proxy: Filtering can be parameterized based on the Internet provider
