Surf's up with Connexion and Mobilisa

Connexion by Boeing, known for delivering broadband in-flight internet service to airlines such as Lufthansa and JAL, has strongly entered the maritime market with this week's announcement of a second contract for cruise ships -- this time aboard Oceania Cruises' Insignia. Meanwhile, Port Townsend-based Mobilisa is continuing to forge ahead in a somewhat related field. It just opened an East Coast office outside of Washington, DC to service its growing business – Mobilisa has the contract to deliver wireless access it calls WOW (Wireless Across Water) aboard several of Washington's ferries.
