Connectivity that stays up when the weather does not.
We connect vessels to shore, and shore to everywhere else. Satellite, 5G and bonded links, engineered so that when one path drops, nobody on board notices.
Your vessel is connected. Until it isn't.
A single satellite link is a single point of failure. When it drops, and it drops, the crew loses contact with home, the payment terminal times out mid-transaction, and the shore team loses sight of the vessel exactly when they most want it.
The answer is not a bigger satellite package. It is more than one path, intelligently managed, with something making the decision about which one to use before anybody notices there was a decision to make.
Multiple links. One connection. No dropouts.
We design and deliver connectivity that combines every path available to your vessel: satellite, 4G/5G when in range, shore Wi-Fi in port. We manage them as a single connection.
Traffic moves between links automatically. A voice call started on 5G alongside continues on satellite as you leave the coast, without dropping.
We have spent years debugging what happens when a payment session crosses between two links mid-transaction. That is not a theoretical problem, and the fix is not obvious.
- Starlink Maritime. High-bandwidth LEO, for the traffic that was never affordable before: crew video calls, real-time monitoring, bulk data to shore.
- KVH VSAT. Global, proven, and there when the LEO service is not. Coverage in the places and conditions where Starlink is degraded or unavailable.
- Both, working together. This is the point. Starlink carries the load, KVH carries the guarantee. Traffic moves between them automatically, and the crew never sees the switch.
- 4G/5G. Cheap, fast bandwidth whenever the vessel is close enough to use it.
- Bonded and failover links. Every available path combined into one connection, with automatic switching.
- Bandwidth management. The systems that matter get priority; crew streaming does not starve the payment terminal.
- Crew Wi-Fi and welfare access. Separated from operational traffic, with fair-use controls.
- Usage visibility. You see where the bandwidth is going before the bill tells you.
Starlink is not a strategy. It is one link.
Starlink changed maritime connectivity. It is fast, it is cheap for what it gives you, and it made things possible that were not possible three years ago.
It is also a single constellation, with coverage gaps, capacity contention, and degradation in weather and at high latitudes. Operators who moved everything onto it discovered what a single point of failure feels like at scale.
So we do not sell you one link. We sell you a path that does not go down.
When one path degrades, traffic moves. The crew do not notice. The payment terminal does not time out. Nobody files a ticket. Redundancy is not a luxury item on a vessel. It is the entire product.
- Starlink Maritime carries the load. The bandwidth-hungry traffic that used to be unaffordable.
- KVH VSAT carries the guarantee. Global, proven, and available where LEO is not.
- 4G and 5G carry the cheap stuff. Whenever the coast is close enough.
- Bonding and failover. Make the three of them look like one connection.
Talk to the vessel. Let the vessel talk home.
Two different problems, often solved badly by the same product.
Operational voice
Vessel to shore, master to superintendent, reliable and prioritised, working when the link is under load.
Crew welfare
The crew calling home. This is a retention issue, not an IT one. Crews increasingly choose employers on whether they can video-call their families.
What we deliver
- Vessel-to-shore calling that survives a link switch
- Crew calling and messaging over managed, fair-use bandwidth
- Extensions that work the same whether the person is on the bridge, ashore, or on another vessel
- Prepaid or allocated crew data, controlled without policing it manually
Business Communications
For your offices, terminals and shore teams. The same engineering, applied to a simpler environment.
Nothing exotic. Done properly, and supported by people who answer.
Business telephony
Cloud phone systems, SIP trunks, Microsoft Teams calling. One number that reaches a person wherever they are.
Multi-site connectivity
Offices, terminals, yards and remote sites, connected as one network with failover.
Migration
Moving off a legacy phone system without a week of chaos. We plan it, port the numbers, and stay on the line the day you switch.
Scaling
Add a site, add fifty people, without redesigning anything.
We are engineers who happen to sell airtime.
Most connectivity vendors sell you a package and disappear. If it does not work, the answer is a bigger package.
We build the network the connectivity plugs into. We install it, and we maintain it. So when something breaks, we can actually tell you whether the problem is the satellite, the bonding, the firewall, the QoS policy, or an application that was never going to work over a link with 400 ms of latency.
That distinction is the whole job.
One vendor for the network, the connectivity and the IT. One number to call, no finger-pointing. And riding technicians who sail with the vessel when commissioning needs sea time.
Let us look at what you are paying for.
Send us your current connectivity setup and your last bill. We will tell you what you are actually getting, where it will fail, and whether there is a better shape for the same money. No obligation.
Questions we get asked
Do you supply the satellite service itself?
Yes. We deliver Starlink Maritime and KVH VSAT as part of a managed package: hardware, network, airtime and support in one contract, with one number to call.
Why would I want both Starlink and KVH?
Because one of them will fail you, and you will not get to choose when. Starlink gives you bandwidth. KVH gives you the guarantee that when Starlink degrades (weather, capacity, coverage gap, high latitude) the vessel is still connected. Together they cost less than the downtime of running only one.
Can you work with our existing provider?
Yes. If your airtime contract is good, we will keep it and fix the engineering around it. We are not interested in selling you a contract you already have.
What if the connection drops mid-voyage?
That is the scenario the design exists for. Traffic moves to the next available path automatically. Where no path exists, systems we build keep working offline and sync when the link returns.
Do you handle crew welfare separately from operations?
Always. They are different traffic with different priorities, and mixing them is how payment terminals start timing out.
