Professional engineers with attention to detail
We've been working alongside MSS on numerous projects for internet connectivity onboard. Having worked with many companies, what I can say is that they are extremely professional from start to finish and experts in maritime connectivity. For me, it's the last 10% of the job that really matters- the fine-tuning of the systems and most importantly always being at the end of the phone when you need them and this is where they excel. Rest assured if you appoint MSS on a project, it's going to turn out great.

Trustworthy and accurate
I have worked with the Wikstrom Family (MMS) for eight years and they have performed several projects onboard Harle. Their hardware and work has always been of extraordinary high quality. Michael and his sons are very knowledgeable in the IT and AV field. I trust their opinion and they have always advised me well in choosing the best and most reliable AV/IT equipment to install onboard. In September 2019 MMS installed our new Intellian 100NX VSAT Antenna. The installation was carefully planned in advanced and the installation and set up process took only one day. I want to highlight the honesty and long-term business view of Michael Wikstrom, high values and standards that he has also engraved in his sons Erik and Daniel.

MSS
MSS have worked on Virginian for a few years, i have always found them to be very professional, very knowledgeable, hard working and very focused on the job in hand. Any problems that come up they solve without fuss and their assistance out of hours whether it may be by phone or remotely is second to none. I would recommend MSS to any boat or Captain in the industry and look forward to continue using their services.

AV Refit
MSS completed a full AV refit of our boat in 2016. This included all the AV hardware, cabling, and network refit as well as four new VSAT domes. I can only say good things about the installation they carried out. All the cabling was completed to a very high standard and overall a very tidy and professional job. MSS come highly recommended. a very tidy and professional job.

On board they have retro fitted a very easy to use and reliable entertainment system and they have always been there to support us no matter what time of the day, which matters a lot in this industry. We highly recommend them to anyone thinking of upgrading or managing all entertainment systems.
