Other Key SeaNet Features: Video Conferencing: The SeaNet support group has successfully demonstrated video conferencing over the SeaNet system with Netmeeting. A notebook computer running Windows along with an inexpensive web video camera is set up on board ship, and a corresponding unit is set up on the Internet. An interactive Netmeeting session is initiated on the ship, which establishes a full duplex video and audio connection. The user can simultaneously run applications such as whiteboarding, file-sharing, and web-browsing. Accounting Estimator: SeaNet provides a shipboard accounting utility that permits users to monitor spending on DataPipe and interactive Internet services. This feature also allows ship operators to break down costs for high-speed data usage over the SeaNet link to the investigator/project level. CMail: SeaNet now offers an email package as an alternative to existing shipboard email systems.
