IEC Telecom is honoured to be shortlisted for the Technology Innovation Award at The Maritime Standard Awards 2025. Recognised as the premier event in the shipping and maritime industry, the Awards are renowned for their rigorous, independent judging and high standards of excellence. Now in its 12th year, the TMS Awards continue to be held under the esteemed patronage of H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Chairman and CEO of Emirates Airline and Group. This royal endorsement elevates the event’s global stature and shines a spotlight on maritime and offshore excellence across the Middle East, South Asia, and beyond.
The nomination was awarded for a pioneering IEC Welfare System. This state-of-the-art solution transforms maritime connectivity by addressing two of the industry’s most pressing challenges: reliable high-speed communication and efficient bandwidth management across fleets and sites. Traditional connectivity solutions in the maritime sector often force operators to choose between speed, stability, or cost efficiency. IEC Telecom’s hybrid model eliminates this compromise by intelligently combining multiple satellite networks, while the shared subscription ensures resources are distributed dynamically across all vessels and sites. Together, these innovations deliver an unprecedented level of flexibility, cost efficiency, and operational control for shipowners, offshore operators, and humanitarian organisations.
True Hybrid Architecture IEC Telecom’s innovation is built on intelligently bonding several high-speed satellite communication links. By combining multiple satcom networks into one resilient solution, we deliver seamless connectivity and optimise operational costs through smart traffic distribution.
Shared Subscription Model
Our offer includes a shared subscription that covers multiple vessels and onshore sites — simplifying management, reducing waste, and ensuring bandwidth is always available where it matters most.
Crew Welfare & Safety First
With integrated voucher systems and access policies, our platform supports fair crew connectivity while protecting corporate systems. Automated traffic steering and centralised monitoring bolster safety, resilience, and compliance with cybersecurity requirements.
Simplified Operations and Scalability
One solution, one contract, one invoice — our unified approach streamlines operations. The system is highly scalable: adding or removing terminals and sites can be done without renegotiating the core agreement, enabling agile operational growth.
This shortlisting highlights IEC Telecom’s commitment to empowering the maritime sector with secure, efficient, and future-ready communications. We look forward to meeting you at the Maritime Standard Awards 2025 ceremony on 29th October, 2025, at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai.
