Bio
Alex Inchausti
It was a pleasure working for Rob while he was with Wireless Maritime Services. With Rob's knowledge of telecommunication, shipboard experience, & sales abilities, WMS became the largest cellular roaming service at sea. In short if Rob works for a competitor of yours, you might as well just save time and money and hand over the keys.
Mohan Prabhu
Rob was instrumental in creating new business, joint venture for Maritime Telecommunications Network and AT&T to bring Cellular service on board cruise ships. His in depth knowledge in Satellite service, Cellular Service & Cruise Lines was crucial in bringing in all the industry leaders to form Wireless Maritime Services which today is the number one Cellular service provider on board most of the major cruise lines. I have also known Rob while at Maritime Telecommunications Network where his ideas came to fruition to bring WifFi internet & real-time News Paper services on board Cruise ships. I have enjoyed working with him from start to finish on many of the new ideas, projects and challenges he brought in. As COO of Wireless Maritime Services (a Joint venture of Maritime Satellite Services & AT&T Wireless) Rob was responsible for the successful operation of the business with 75 ships in service. I highly recommend him, you may reach me at 954-883-2426.
