About Us
Whether you are cruising in the Bahamas, delivering a barge to Alaska, racing to Bermuda, exploring in central Africa or fishing in the Pacific, a common thread is shared. Your satellite phone needs to work, even if nothing else does.
At OCENS, every day we strive to separate our company from the fad and fancy, which is much of the satellite phone marketplace, by reminding ourselves what reality our customers face. This abiding attitude is reflected every day in the Software we develop, the Products we sell and the commitment we make to the after-sale Support of our customers.
Apps & Software
There is nothing average about any of the software we’ve developed. Each of them represent countless hours of attention to the details which matter to the offshore subscriber. WeatherNet is a one-of-a-kind weather service combining a transfer engine specifically configured for satellite phones with a library of classical and GRIB weather and ocean data and an intuitive file management system. GRIB Explorer is crafted with tools whose intent is to extract the last possible piece of information from the weather data you obtain from OCENS. Saga is our iPad-based weather service combining the best features of WeatherNet and GRIB Explorer into one package. OCENSMail and OneMail set the bar against which other mail programs are judged for performance and reliability. OneMessage owns the space for private, person-to-person or person-to-group messaging through satellite phones. SnapTrack simplifies your vessel and asset-tracking quest. Internet access with OCENSWeb is vastly superior to that without it. And the beat goes on.
Satellite Phones & Equipment
OCENS only sells satellite products it can support with confidence and integrity--a simple statement yet one that carries considerable implications. It means we won’t sell a product until we’ve spent time with it. It means we won’t recommend a product simply to satisfy this month’s revenue target. It means that we stand behind the products we do sell. And it means that we’ll do the best job we can to match the most suited product to the real needs of the customer.

Service
We started out as a small company and the main characteristic that really distinguished us from the crowd was our support of subscribers after the sale. Although we’ve grown a bit since then, our commitment to end-user support is unwavering. In fact, this resolve is one of the components of our evolving company which remains unchanged. We recognize we’re never going to be perfect at it (and we expect you to tell us when we aren’t), but we strive to be each and every day.
Sound Software, Solid Products, Soaring Service—Our core values, wrapped together by professionals with a common purpose and a goal of delivering satellite communication solutions that work when nothing else does.
