22.11.2021 13:00:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
Intelsat, operator of the world's largest integrated satellite and terrestrial network, announces the expansion of its global FlexMaritime service, now enabling connectivity for vessels traveling in Indian territorial waters and immediately enhancing the service coverage for all of Intelsat’s 8,000 existing FlexMaritime vessels. The landmark development also provides access for Indian-registered vessels to Intelsat’s award-winning global high-throughput maritime network. Intelsat's expansion is made possible by a new in-country gateway that is operationally ready to provide service via Intelsat’s HTS satellites under India-based partner Cloudcast's In-Flight and Maritime Connectivity (IFMC) license.
FlexMaritime provides high-speed, resilient connectivity service with 99.95% proven network uptime. The expansion of FlexMaritime into India will open new business opportunities and accelerate digital transformation for thousands of Indian-flagged vessels and ships trading in Indian territorial waters. According to the Ministry of Shipping, around 95% of India's trading by volume and 70% by value is done through maritime transport.
"The completion of this regulatory milestone means customers of our FlexMaritime solutions partners will immediately benefit from the well-known power, performance and resilience of the FlexMaritime service in Indian waters," said Intelsat Senior Vice President of Mobility, Mark Rasmussen. "The network expansion also demonstrates Intelsat's commitment to mobility services providing yet another new dimension of global trade with access for Indian companies."
Intelsat has experienced continued growth in its FlexMaritime service. More than 8,000 vessels benefit from unrivaled network density and a global, multi-layered high-throughput satellite (HTS) fabric that enables partners to create unique service packages at enterprise-grade performance levels. With terminal sizes of 37cm, 45cm, 60cm and 1 meter, FlexMaritime meets the connectivity needs of every type of vessel with scale and global reach, even in high-traffic port locations.
The gateway will be located in Noida, India, serving as a critical link between Intelsat's terrestrial ground network and space assets and extending Intelsat's existing global network to a vital trading port.
Services are slated for availability at the beginning of 2022 through Intelsat's many solutions partners.

HJS Foundation Releases JEP Protocol & HJS Framework: The "Black Box" for AI, Enabling Verifiable Human Oversight24.3.2026 05:36:00 EET | Press release
HJS Foundation (Human Judgment Systems Foundation) today released two complementary solutions: the Judgment Event Protocol (JEP) and the Human Judgment Structure (HJS) framework. As a minimalist open standard, JEP generates tamper-proof records of AI decision accountability, just like an aircraft black box; HJS embeds human judgment logic into AI operation processes — together, they transform "human oversight" from a regulatory requirement into a verifiable technical fact, providing an optional technical solution for AI accountability. How to prove that AI decisions (such as loan approvals, medical diagnoses, border screenings, etc.) have undergone human review? JEP generates immutable audit trails of human intervention through four cryptographic primitives — Judge, Verify, Delegate, Terminate; HJS builds a controllable and accountable system to prevent risks such as AI drift and ensure that human judgment guides AI operations. Current systems rely on alterable post-hoc documentation,
