24/7 technical support for vessels worldwide
Inmarsat Maritime Connectivity represents one of the most reliable and globally recognized satellite communication ecosystems for the maritime industry. Established in 1979, Inmarsat was originally created to ensure safety and communication for vessels at sea. Over the decades, it has evolved into a multi-layered connectivity provider serving shipping, offshore energy, government, emergency response, and aviation sectors worldwide.
In 2023, Inmarsat was officially acquired by Viasat, a leading U.S.-based satellite operator. This strategic merger unified Inmarsat’s global maritime heritage with Viasat’s advanced satellite capacity and ground infrastructure, creating a next-generation connectivity platform designed for higher speeds, greater resilience, and seamless global coverage.
Today, Inmarsat Maritime solutions enable vessels to remain always online, supporting business operations, crew welfare, navigation safety, and mission-critical communications, anywhere in the world.
NexusWave is Inmarsat/Viasat’s fully managed, bonded maritime connectivity solution. It intelligently combines multiple satellite and terrestrial networks into a single, seamless broadband service, delivering exceptional speed, low latency, and high availability.
Unlike traditional single-network VSAT systems, NexusWave dynamically blends different access technologies in real time, without disruption to onboard users or applications.
GX remains a cornerstone of Inmarsat Maritime Connectivity, delivering consistent performance worldwide.
FleetBroadband (FBB) is Inmarsat’s trusted L-band maritime service, offering simultaneous voice and data connectivity via compact satellite terminals. It is widely used for mission-critical communications, safety services, and operational reliability.
FleetBroadband is often deployed as a primary safety link or a redundant backup to VSAT systems.
LTE (4G mobile networks) are used near shorelines, ports, and coastal regions. In hybrid solutions like NexusWave, LTE is seamlessly integrated to enhance performance and reduce satellite bandwidth costs when terrestrial coverage is available.
NexusWave dynamically detects and blends LTE with satellite networks to optimize both performance and cost efficiency.
The Kymeta Peregrine u8 is a next-generation flat-panel LEO satellite terminal designed for maritime and mobile environments.
Key features include:
These terminals are commonly deployed in hybrid and LEO-enabled maritime solutions, particularly where low profile and rapid network switching are required.
Inmarsat Maritime Connectivity combines decades of maritime expertise, multi-orbit satellite architecture, and enterprise-grade service management into one globally trusted solution. With Viasat’s backing, the platform continues to evolve toward higher speeds, lower latency, and smarter network intelligence.
For shipowners, operators, and offshore industries, Inmarsat delivers what matters most at sea: reliability, safety, and always-on connectivity, anywhere on the planet.
