GTC's Atlantic Customers
We have so many amazing customers doing incredible things with the hardware we supply them. Below are three stories from the Atlantic that show just how our effective our satellite solutions are.
Atlantic Escapade
From the Canaries to the Caribbean following favourable trade winds, Ros Chaston & Andy Hodgson carried the Iridium GO! exec®, Iridium® 9555 Satellite Phone, and Garmin inReach® Messenger to help them stay reliably connected on their epic Atlantic Row.
Worcester Buoys
Inspired to raise money in memory of their close family friend, Jack, who sadly passed away, keen rower Matt Bladen and friend George Farmiloe decided to put the Atlantic Ocean firmly in their sights with the aim of crossing it as part of the World's Toughest Row. We were happy to support them with powerful Iridium hardware and an Inmarsat BGAN terminal to help them stay reliably in touch with everyone that matters.
Big C Atlantic Challenge
Andrew Bedwell and his 1.19m long vessel, Big C, intended to cross the Atlantic Ocean from Canada to Cornwall, UK, to earn the world record for the smallest vessel ever to make the crossing. Space was at a premium, but Andrew installed an Iridium GO! exec, Iridium Edge Solar, and ACR PLB for safety and globally-reaching communication.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Andrew's initial attempt had to be abandoned, but not one to be deterred, Andrew will be back on the waves to achieve his dream.
