SATELLITE COMMUNICATION

Uninterrupted vessel communication at sea

Reliable vessel connectivity from port to open sea: we install and commission vessel VSAT, FBB, IRIDIUM, Starlink Maritime, LTE, and other satellite and mobile systems for the onboard environment, and provide first-line response to communication faults during voyages.

Systems We Handle

VSAT

Maritime VSAT: a high-bandwidth satellite link used as the primary line for business data, email, and remote support.

FBB (Fleet Broadband)

Inmarsat-based voice and data — a VSAT backup and low-volume data line.

IRIDIUM

Low-earth-orbit terminals covering all sea areas including polar regions.

STARLINK Maritime

LEO-based high-speed internet suited to crew welfare and high-volume data.

LTE

Terrestrial mobile line for coastal and port areas; onboard LTE router installation and integration.

CITADEL Emergency Comm

Independent emergency satellite link — the last line of contact during piracy or power loss.

Vessel Satellite Communication Services

Installation & Commissioning

Ship VSAT installation (VSAT terminal and antenna for vessels) and Starlink terminal setup, communication tests, onboard network integration, and firewall policy setup.

First-line Fault Response

FBB, IRIDIUM, and maritime VSAT faults are received by our 24/365 helpdesk and diagnosed and fixed remotely.

Integrated Link Design

VSAT, IRIDIUM, STARLINK, LTE and other links connected at the same time and integrated into the onboard network, with per-link traffic policies, priority-based failover and automatic satellite switching.

Vessel Email Operation

E-Mail Sharing S/W supply, licensing, and operation support to cut satellite costs.
