Satellite Solutions for Marine Environments
Connectivity in the open water
Marine environments are unpredictable and often isolated. As vessels move away from shore, mobile coverage quickly becomes unreliable or disappears entirely, leaving crews without dependable communication.
In these conditions, maintaining contact with shore teams, coordinating activity, and responding to incidents becomes more challenging. For many operations, from commercial vessels to leisure craft, this lack of connectivity creates both safety risks and operational limitations.
Staying Connected Beyond Coastal Coverage
Satellite communication provides a reliable alternative where traditional networks fall short. By connecting directly to satellite constellations, vessels can maintain communication across open water, offshore zones, and remote regions.
This enables:
- Reliable voice communication between vessel and shore
- Two-way messaging for coordination and updates
- Access to connectivity for navigation, weather, and operational data
- Communication continuity when outside mobile coverage
This level of connectivity helps ensure that crews are never completely out of contact, regardless of location.
KEY APPLICATIONS
Vessel Communication Beyond Coastal Coverage
Once vessels move beyond the reach of VHF and mobile networks, maintaining reliable communication becomes critical. Satellite phones, push-to-talk systems, and onboard connectivity solutions ensure constant contact between crew, fleet operators, and onshore teams, supporting safe and efficient operations anywhere at sea.
Maritime Safety & Emergency Response
Safety at sea depends on the ability to respond instantly in an emergency. Satellite-enabled SOS devices, EPIRBs, and tracking systems allow crews to transmit their position and call for assistance at the push of a button, ensuring rapid response in man-overboard incidents, distress situations, or offshore emergencies.
Vessel & Cargo Tracking Across Global Routes
With thousands of vessels operating globally and supply chains becoming increasingly complex, real-time tracking is essential. Satellite tracking solutions provide visibility of vessel movements, container status, and environmental conditions, helping operators improve logistics, enhance security, and maintain control across global shipping routes.
Tracking a Moving Global Supply Chain
Focusing on the global shipping market, according to the World Shipping Council, there are more than 5,000 container ships operating globally with over 390 new vessels on order. Not only do these ships require satellite communications but increasingly the containers themselves are tracked and monitored individually using satellite and RFID technology to improve the accuracy of global supply chains.
Ideal Marine Satellite Solutions
Our Marine Satellite Communications Solutions
✓ Our range of satellite trackers can be used to monitor vessels and containers measuring speed, current location and past movements.
✓ We are a leading supplier of SOS beacons including PLBs and EPIRBs which can be issued to crew to call for help in the event of an emergency either onboard or in a man-overboard situation. Our high-speed satellite internet terminals enable vessels to communicate with on-shore teams and can also be used to enhance crew welfare by keeping them connected with family and friends on land.
✓ We provide satellite tracking modules which can be configured with sensors to detect container door opening, narcotics detection, movement inside the container, changing levels of radiation, humidity, temperature or water intake inside the container.
✓ We provide a full range of two-way, AIS and push-to-talk marine radios to allow communications anywhere at sea.
