Smart expands satellite services to Pinoy seamen

Smart Communications Inc., through Smart Satellite Services, will serve the local maritime industry of more than 700,000 registered Filipino seafarers who comprise the largest nationality group in the worldwide seafaring workforce.

“With this enhanced mobility and accessibility of our satellite services, we can serve better not only the maritime market, but also other critical and demanding fields such as the media, the military and the country’s disaster and emergency response agencies,” said Orlando Vea, chief wireless advisor for Smart.
