Norwegian Cruise Line has announced that in the coming months will quadruple the current bandwidth in the entire fleet, in order to meet the growing expectations of the guests regarding the use of the Internet. This enhancement is part of a long-term strategic agreement with EMC to greatly improve the level of satisfaction in using the Internet on board all ships of the company. To support the new WiFi network, the ships will add  technological upgrades worth several million dollars before the end of June, in order to increase the performance and bandwidth. Among them, new cutting-edge satellite dishes and the patented EMC SpeedNet program, which provides access to the most popular websites in similar speeds to those of high-speed fiber optic networks available in homes and offices. The WiFi experience will be further enhanced by the recent implementation of high-speed connectivity on the ground in the main ports of call. Norwegian Cruise Line chose EMC based on the software, dell ' maritime experience and incomparable network coverage of this company to ensure a high quality experience and the maximum satisfaction of its customers. "This shows the enormous progress made by the cruise industry, thanks to our patented products, differentiated and personalized and unparalleled support that we provide around the world, "said Brent Horwitz, President of ferry services to and from EMC's cruise ships. By July 2016, guests of all Norwegian ships will benefit from a new and fast WiFi service powered by SpeedNet.
