The Ericsson W25 – that we sell a lot for use on sail and motor yachts – many do not realize can also be used for applications on land, such as to provide voice telephone and 3G Internet Service to remote locations.

Of recent note we have a company order for 6 Ericsson W25 just for such a deployment on land. We also have another call for 1 Ericsson W25 today for use on land / remote location.

So we do have customers catching on to the fact that there’s more use of the Ericsson W25 3G Cellular Voice and Internet Router (Fixed Cellular Terminal) besides just on board sail and motor yachts. Yes it does a good job on yachts, as one of our Sailing Yacht Customers has reported by email today and recently as well, but it also can do a great job for on land applications such as landline replacement – remote sites – and other mobile applications such as motor vehicles.

* Report from S/Y in the Bahamas – Ericsson W25 – 10 miles south of Nassau, Bahamas with 4 bars of signal. Also trouble report from yesterday and they called me for support under a consulting and tech support agreement. It seems they couldn’t get on the Internet although all indications seemed to point to the System (Ericsson W25) and the Service (BTC Bahamas) were working. The report today indicates a strangeness with a “?” question mark as part of the service provider displayed in the system.

Dear Alan

Many thanks for your help yesterday and as you will construe from this message, today we are back in communication.

It seems that the local system was down yesterday and we did have one indicator that I did not consider important until today.  On the Ericson screen the service provider was ‘BTC@36439’.  Yesterday the service provider was ‘BTC?@36439’.  We shall watch out for question marks in future!!

At present we are sailing some ten miles south of Nassau and have a good signal with four bars.

Best regards

William
