GTMailPlus

Please notice: mentioned rate is per month

GTMailPlus is GTMaritime’s flagship maritime email solution.

GTMaritime enables their customers to communicate via major satellite technologies including Inmarsat FleetBroadband, Iridium Pilot, VSAT, as well as GSM and WiFi.

GTMaritime understands the critical importance of email to the commercial shipping industry – it is the primary method of communication between the vessel and its office, port authorities, immigration, its suppliers……the list is endless.

Loss of or even degradation of this service can have a significant impact on the effective operation of a vessel, with potentially dramatic cost or schedule implications.

"GTMail is a world renowned product that generates over 200,000 messages daily and has been in operation for over 15 years."

GTMailPlus is developed with three core service principles in mind:

• Performance
• Availability
• Reliability

Other principles that are kept in mind are themes like:

• Easy to deploy
• Easy to use
• Easy to maintain

Key benefits of GTMailPlus:

• Performance - the key to performance is the high level of compression of the transferred data. This applies to speed against minimal cost.
• Flexibility - in addition to for instance Microsoft Outlook, GTMailPlus offers its own webmail client and can also be accessed by any IMAP-compliant email solution.
• Intelligence - ships today generally have more than one satellite communications service; GTMailPlus can check primary and secondary services and select the messages to send and receive depending upon which connection is available, reducing airtime charges.
• Ease of Deployment - IT management on a fleet of ships can be very costly; remote configuration of GTMailPlus can reduce these costs and give real control to your IT department.

Key Features of GTMailPlus:

• Enhanced Compression - A key to reducing costs when sending email over satellite is "compression” and GTMailPlus has even a better compression then it's successors.
  
  
• Webmail - GTMailPlus comes with a webmail client, allowing emails to be accessed from any networked PC, i.e. the captain, or other other crew, no longer need to return to the cabin to check email.
  
  
• IMAP - IMAP is fully supported. Together with POP3/SMTP, this allows GTMailPlus to work with not only MS Outlook, but any frontend e-mail package of choice.
  
  
• Intelligent Thinking - Ships now have more than one satellite communications service, be it VSAT with FBB back up or FBB and F77. GTMailPlus+ will think like the Captain when it comes to making a connection. It will schedule calls, check availability of primary and secondary services and it also selects the messages it sends and receives depending upon which route out it is working with. This reduces both airtime charges and the demands on the Captain’s valuable time.
  
  
• Preview Mailbox - The advent of VSAT packages has fuelled the flames of the already increasing data usage across the maritime world. However VSAT has brought a different method of working in that there is an increase of data to the ship. This is due to the “all you can eat” concept which encourages shore staff to include the Captain in messages when they previously would not have done so, creating a problem that we did not have in the past.
  
  With GTMailPlus+, when the VSAT fails, the FBB is used for back up and so the method of operation must also change. The extra data acceptable over VSAT can wait whilst using FBB.
  
  GTMailPlus+ has a “Preview Messages in the Mailbox” facility that allows the Captain the same level of control afforded by the “Intelligent Thinking” mentioned above. In particular, this feature allows the Captain to select the important messages and leave the less urgent for when he is back on VSAT.
  
  
• Automatic Updates - No More CD's! There is an easy way to help keep GTMailPlus+ up to date with the latest new additions and features, it is called Automatic Update. All you have to do is turn it on, and you'll get the latest software update delivered to the vessel as soon as the new release becomes available.
