Ever wonder what a food order looks like for a ship at sea?
What software do you use to receive faxes in mini-M?
Mini-M is still adctive?
I wrote my own software for Mini-M. It’s still active but no new activations and is on the decline. End of 2016 is EOL.
It is a pity that the Mini-M stops … Maybe the future belongs to the new system – BGAN. But all the same … Do you have the opportunity to try the demo version of your software? Which receivers support your program?
