Shipowners and fleet managers have mastered global logistics, but modern maritime operations depend on real‑time data, secure communications, and always‑on connectivity across mission‑critical systems. With expanding bandwidth demands—from IoT sensors to crew applications—single‑network solutions can no longer keep up.
Speedcast helps commercial maritime organizations gain visibility, control, and consistent performance across shipboard networks. With multi‑orbit connectivity and intelligent network management, operators can reduce complexity, boost resilience, and keep vessels reliably connected anywhere in the world.
Speedcast delivers global marine satellite internet through an intelligent multi‑orbit architecture designed for commercial fleets that operate across diverse maritime routes.
Your vessel connectivity can include:
Powered by the SIGMA platform, fleets can manage connectivity, performance, and network policies more consistently across distributed maritime operations.
SIGMA enables:
Designed specifically for commercial maritime operations, SIGMA helps crews maintain resilient onboard networks with lower operational overhead.
Commercial maritime networks face increasing cyber risks, and IMO‑aligned cyber‑risk management has become a critical focus for ship operators.
Speedcast supports secure vessel operations with:
Modern fleets rely on resilient, intelligent connectivity for both:
Speedcast ensures consistent performance for mission‑critical systems and crew needs—even in remote oceans, harsh weather, or high‑latitudes where other networks struggle.
Explore frequently asked questions about VSAT, LEO services like Starlink and OneWeb, vessel cyber readiness, and Speedcast’s SIGMA Edge intelligence.
Maritime internet uses satellite connectivity—commonly GEO VSAT—for offshore broadband. Modern fleets also use LEO satellites like Starlink and OneWeb for higher performance, plus L‑band backup and 4G/LTE near shore. Speedcast integrates all networks with SIGMA Edge intelligence to maintain optimal performance as vessels move across coverage zones.
Explore Connectivity Options
Marine satellite internet is engineered for mobility, ocean routes, and operational reliability. It often requires multi‑orbit orchestration, network resilience, and fleetwide visibility—far beyond a single fixed satellite connection.
Explore Network Management
Speedcast uses SIGMA to monitor and orchestrate all available networks. SIGMA intelligently switches between VSAT, Starlink, OneWeb, L‑band, and 4G/LTE based on performance, availability, and policies—helping vessels maintain consistent uptime and user experience.
Explore SIGMA for Commercial Maritime
Yes. IMO guidelines now require cyber‑risk management to be incorporated into vessel safety management systems. Speedcast supports operators with built‑in SIGMA security tools, firewall services, and cyber‑ready connectivity architectures.
Navigating the IACS E26 and E27 Standards
Starting July 1, 2024, compliance with IACS UR E26 and E27 is mandatory for new vessels, emphasizing the need for enhanced cybersecurity. Speedcast’s SIGMA platform offers a robust framework to help shipbuilders and operators meet these requirements. Contact us today to ensure your operations are secure and compliant.
Shipowners and managers have long mastered the complexities of global business to turn a profit. Still, they now need more visibility and control over their multiple networks and services to compete. Speedcast’s connectivity management solutions can take remote operations to a whole new level of control with greater efficiency, productivity, and cost-effectiveness.
Modern pirates are more about stealth; they’re taking an invisible cyber route that’s just as costly as physical attacks, causing financial loss, reputation damage and more. At Speedcast, we proactively patrol your networks for cyber threats. Our cybersecurity solutions are versatile and ready to fend off attacks in today’s constantly-changing threat landscape.
