Soft Network Service Device definition

Soft Network Service Device or “SoftNSD” shall mean the shipboard software/hardware combination needed for Fleet Xpress consisting of the “SoftNSD Software” and the INFINITY PLUS or CUBE hardware platform, which is provided by Precision and is hosting the “SoftNSD Software”. The SoftNSD is tightly linked to the Global Xpress shore side network, which identifies each SoftNSD unit and downloads specific configurations settings to it. Additionally, the SoftNSD controls the routing of data and voice traffic via either the GX or FleetBroadband satellite networks. The default is Global Xpress. Upon detection of interruption of the service over the GX network, the SoftNSD will switch over to FleetBroadband. The SoftNSD will continuously monitor the GX network, and once the network is back to nominal conditions, the SoftNSD will switch the transmission of data and voice traffic back to GX. The software embedded in the SoftNSD is based on the Cisco 5921 software & VDS-IS (“SoftNSD Software”) and it is hosted in the INFINITY PLUS or CUBE hardware platform, which is designed with certain hardware specifications to support the service. By using the SoftNSD Software Customer unreservedly agrees to be bound by the “Cisco End User License Agreement”, which is found at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/legal/cloud-and-software/software-terms.html and is incorporated herein by reference.
