OneWeb Starlink Installation Istanbul

Project overview

OneWeb Starlink installation Istanbul projects require reliable integration of dual LEO satellite systems to ensure continuous connectivity for vessel operations.

In this project, a OneWeb Starlink installation Istanbul solution was completed in Tuzla, Istanbul, delivering a fully redundant connectivity setup combined with a managed IT network onboard a vessel.

The installation included an Intellian OneWeb system for business-critical connectivity and a Starlink system dedicated to crew internet usage. This setup ensures stable performance while maintaining separation between operational and crew networks.

Delivered system

The OneWeb Starlink installation Istanbul solution consisted of the following components:

• Intellian OneWeb antenna system (LEO connectivity for business network)
• Starlink system (LEO connectivity for crew network)
• Dual LEO architecture with automatic failover
• Managed IT network infrastructure onboard
• Firewall configuration and VLAN segmentation
• Remote monitoring and support system

This configuration ensures maximum uptime and network stability for vessel operations.

Connectivity architecture and geofencing

The OneWeb Starlink installation Istanbul was designed with intelligent failover capabilities:

• Starlink used as primary connectivity for crew welfare
• OneWeb used as backup and business-critical connection
• Automatic switching between systems based on availability
• Geofencing configuration to handle regions where Starlink coverage is limited

In areas where Starlink does not provide coverage, the system automatically switches to OneWeb, ensuring continuous connectivity without interruption.

Managed IT network integration

A key part of this OneWeb Starlink installation Istanbul was the deployment of a complete managed IT system onboard the vessel.

The system includes:

• separation of business and crew networks using VLANs
• firewall-based traffic control and prioritisation
• secure remote access for support and troubleshooting
• proactive monitoring of network performance

This allows remote assistance and ensures that the vessel remains fully operational at all times.

Maritime installation scope

During this OneWeb Starlink installation Istanbul, the following work was carried out:

• installation and commissioning of Intellian OneWeb antenna
• installation of Starlink system
• configuration of dual LEO failover system
• firewall setup and VLAN segmentation
• full IT network deployment onboard
• testing, optimisation and system commissioning

All installation activities were completed according to marine IT and satellite installation standards.

System performance and reliability

The OneWeb Starlink installation Istanbul provides:

• continuous LEO connectivity via dual satellite systems
• automatic failover based on geofencing
• stable internet for both business and crew usage
• secure and segmented onboard IT network
• remote monitoring and support capabilities

This ensures reliable communication and operational efficiency in all sailing regions.
