Starlink Maritime works by utilising a network of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites to deliver internet service to vessels. The system includes a specialised maritime terminal that connects to the satellite network, providing seamless connectivity even in remote ocean areas.

The benefits of Starlink Maritime include global coverage, reliable high-speed internet, low latency, and the ability to support multiple applications such as navigation, crew communications, and real-time data transfer.

Starlink offers global coverage in international waters. Coverage in territorial waters is subject to licensing by each seafarer nations.

Starlink Maritime can be used by all types, including commercial ships, fishing boats, luxury yachts, and offshore platforms, ensuring reliable internet access regardless of the vessel’s size or purpose.

Yes, Starlink Maritime is ideal for crew welfare, providing high-speed internet that allows crew members to stay connected with family and friends, stream content, and access social media, improving overall morale on board.

Starlink Maritime offers low latency, typically between 25 to 99 milliseconds, making it suitable for real-time applications such as video conferencing and online gaming, even at sea.

VAS stands for value-added services provided by IEC Telecom to maximise user experience on board.

Network management refers to the processes, tools, and strategies used to monitor, maintain, and optimize a network’s performance. It involves tasks such as configuring network devices, monitoring network traffic, ensuring network security, troubleshooting issues, and managing network resources to ensure that all users and systems can operate efficiently and securely.

Bandwidth optimisation is the process of managing and adjusting the allocation of network bandwidth to ensure that critical applications and services have the necessary resources to function effectively. This involves techniques like traffic prioritisation, data compression, and load balancing to minimise congestion, reduce latency, and enhance the overall performance of the network, especially in environments with limited bandwidth availability.

Network filtration, also known as network filtering, is a security measure used to control the flow of data within a network. It involves the use of firewalls, content filters, and other tools to block or restrict access to certain types of data, websites, or applications based on predefined rules. This helps protect the network from unauthorised access, malicious activities, and ensures compliance with organisational policies.

Advanced connectivity through Starlink unlocks numerous digital services on board, but it also increases the risk of cyber threats. Robust cybersecurity is essential to safeguard your vessel and its operations. Contact our experts to find the cybersecurity package that best fits your needs.
