Satellite & Connectivity (VSAT)

Satellite and connectivity providers supply and install the systems a vessel uses to stay online at sea — VSAT and L-band terminals, satellite broadband airtime plans, and the on-board Wi-Fi and network infrastructure that distributes connectivity to crew and business systems.

Work covers terminal and antenna installation and commissioning, airtime contracts sized to a vessel's data needs, and ongoing technical support for the link, distinct from the GMDSS distress and safety radio equipment supplied and serviced by marine communications providers. Reliable connectivity supports crew welfare and internet access, remote monitoring of machinery and cargo systems, and shore-based administration, so owners increasingly treat it as an operating requirement rather than a discretionary extra. Buyers compare providers on coverage in the vessel's trading area, data allowance and cost, and installation lead time. It sits within the Navigation, Bridge & Communications category group on PortProcure.
