Communicating at-sea and ship-to-shore has never been easier, faster or more reliable. With OneMessage, you can send and receive text messages from your cell phone, tablet, PC or Mac, over any network or satellite phone connection. Send and receive messages with on-shore friends and family, at-sea contacts, fleet managers and more, either through individual text messages or through public and private groups, and stay in touch whether you are across the bay or around the globe.
OneMessage runs as a stand-alone service app on your iOS or Android mobile device or Windows or Mac. It can also run as a companion app with OCENS WeatherNet and OCENSMail - automatically transferring messages when you connect to do your regular weather or email downloads.
The OneMessage satellite messaging app is is designed to allow messaging between users over limited bandwidth connections such as satellite, 2G cellular, or any other low bandwidth or expensive data connections.
1) OneMessage provides private person-to-person and group messaging to and from other OneMessage users
2) Includes dialers for the Iridium GO and OCENS Sidekick wireless router that allow it to auto-dial and send or receive messages
3) Allows users with accompanying subscriptions to OCENS SpotCast, WaveCast, or FlyCast services to request weather reports
4) Allows users with accompanying SnapTrack subscriptions to easily send in position reports to the SnapTrack service
5) Messaging between users on the SnapTrack webpage and remote OneMessage user.
Who is OneMessage for?
1) Satellite phone owners with the Sidekick router: The app makes it much easier for these users to send and receive messages
2) Iridium Go users who want privacy: Native Iridium messaging apps on the Iridium Go service deliver messages to the Iridium GO! device. Anyone who connects to the device will view those messages, whether or not the messages were intended for them. The OneMessage implementation with the Iridium GO! preserves privacy. Only the person to whom the message was sent can view the message, even if they are not the first to connect to the device.
3) Shore side constituents of satellite phone users: Individuals who want to message remote satellite users must presently do so through a web portal or must pay for enhanced service from their cellular airtime carrier in order to message internationally. The OneMessage app provides the flexibility of being able to send and receive private messages from their smartphone or tablet without any additional fees or other barriers to do so.
Requirements
OneMessage is available for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets and is available for Windows and Mac.
