This commenced with the installation of an Inmarsat Global Xpress broadband solution aboard the frigate Cristóbal Colón in late 2017. The initial project was developed by the Spanish Navy and implemented on the Cristóbal Colón frigate during its voyage to Australian waters under a project agreement between the Spanish Navy and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). During more than 120 days of navigation, over 200 members of the frigate experienced a high capacity for data transmission, regardless of the geographical location – enjoying a seamless global communications link at all times. As a result of the project and the operational yields achieved, the Spanish Navy has acquired a new system for another supply vessel of its fleet and is planning to implement it across even more vessels. “The Global Xpress system permitted the Spanish Navy AOR ‘Cantabria’ to permanently benefit from the necessary connectivity during her deployment as flagship of Operation ‘SOPHIA’.
