Astrium Services, the global innovative provider of satcom enabled solutions, has released an update for its popular SkyFile Mail software, which provides more user flexibility and cost reductions on regular maintenance in addition to offering more possibilities to ‘Bring Your Own Device’ on board. The new monthly update of SkyFile Mail Anti Virus improves security and features a new automatic notification that prompts the Master to update the Anti Virus software over the air.

User flexibility is improved with SkyFile Mail v8.25 through enhanced I4 device control, which with the addition of JRC and Furuno, is now available for all types of FleetBroadband terminal. This feature allows users to start the FleetBroadband connection and dial in directly from SkyFile Mail, so there is no need to keep the IP session open continuously, which reduces the risk of costly unwanted data usage. I4 device control also offers an SMS notification feature with keyword definition, which initiates automatic dial in. This allows the Master and officers to receive important/urgent messages promptly, without waiting for the next manually activated dial in.
