Seamless Sailing on the Seas: Hybrid Connectivity Wi-Fi for Boats Packages

Maritime operations are experiencing a digital transformation, with the need to become more competitive, reduce emissions, cut costs, and prevent cybercrime. Vessels are becoming more connected ensuring critical communications and crew welfare are always available.

AST Networks hybrid remote connectivity solutions are tailored specifically to our customers' requirements. Our innovative solutions combine the strengths of multiple connectivity technologies, providing uninterrupted internet access, regardless of where you are in the world. In this blog, we will deep dive into the benefits our hybrid connectivity solutions can bring to marine vessels, transforming your overall sailing experience.

Remote Connectivity at Sea

The marine and maritime industry is under intense pressure to become more competitive.

Traditional Wi-Fi, or cellular networks, often fail beyond coastal regions, leaving maritime crews and operations with a lack of communication connectivity. This lack of a reliable communication solution limits access to essential navigational tools, critical weather updates, communications with loved ones onshore, and could delay access to emergency services if required.

Hybrid Solutions

Our Hybrid solutions for maritime vessels provide reliable and robust remote connectivity by combining different technologies to maximise coverage and service. These comprehensive packages integrate satellite, cellular, and Wi-Fi networks to ensure a secure and reliable connection, wherever your voyage might take you.

Satellite Connectivity

Satellite network solutions serve as the backbone of marine communication, offering global coverage extending far beyond coastal regions that can be served by more traditional communication infrastructures. By leveraging our satellite technology, our hybrid solutions offer uninterrupted connectivity, even in the most remote locations, or during unpredictable weather conditions. When managed through an intelligent hybrid configuration, these services can complement each other effectively to improve operational efficiencies.

Our hybrid remote connectivity solutions, such as LinkBox seamlessly integrates satellite, cellular, and traditional networks, allowing for seamless transition between the most affordable solution with the strongest connection, as you navigate at sea. This integration ensures uninterrupted service, regardless of where you are in the world.

The Benefits of Hybrid Remote Connectivity
