Ships

Powering the future

Reliability and stability is key

Meet the heart of maritime operations: ship operators. These companies, often referred to as "truckers of the sea," have a keen eye on their cost structure. Your focus lies in stability and durability with an emphasis on sustainable, long-term solutions. You yearn for reliability that withstands the test of time, taking the pragmatic approach, understanding that every minute counts and every package delivered is crucial.

When you're out on the seas, communication and networking are the lifelines. Imagine a communication or network downtime. Smaller organizations leave little room for system errors. For you, dependability is not just an option; it's an absolute necessity.

Opportunities and Solutions Afloat

In the vast sea of challenges, opportunities rise like islands on the horizon. Emerging broadband providers like OneWeb, Starlink and SG offer increased bandwidth at lower costs. The challenge? Choosing the right provider, or often multiple, to ensure maximum coverage and cost efficiency.

The maritime industry isn't just about ships; it's about the people and operations that move them.

Ensuring data security

With technology advancing, the importance of cybersecurity and operational technology only increases. Modern solutions can not only facilitate happy crews and effective communication, but also extend to advanced cybersecurity measures and efficient data handling. Your data matters and it's vital it remains both secure and accessible.

Reliable communication

In the world of maritime, reliability isn't just a choice – it's a demand. With an array of satellite options available to you, you can get advice on choosing the right bandwidth and reducing costs. On ships, communication is always a priority but bandwidth can be de-prioritised.

Choosing the right providers
