Cell phone service sets sail.
Previously merchant ship crews had to rely on expensive satellite phones.
The new system will also rely on satellite communication. A picocell - a small base station that extends mobile coverage - will be installed in accommodation areas of the ship.
Connected to a remote gateway, it will convert a mobile call into a narrowband IP signal for transmission over the satellite network.
