Eutelsat OneWeb's objective in the maritime industry is to usher in a new era of connectivity by providing high-speed and reliable internet access to those who traverse the world's oceans. With the deployment of its Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network, OneWeb is committed to offering fast, low-latency connectivity and innovative digital solutions to enhance maritime operations, performance and to improve crew welfare.

Unlike current satellite networks, OneWeb's LEO satellite network provides internet access similar to terrestrial fibre services and 4G networks that we are used to on our mobile phones and in our homes. This means that users can enjoy a seamless and smooth online experience anywhere in the world. By bringing this level of connectivity for the maritime industry, OneWeb aims to enable sailors, fishermen, and other ocean-going professionals to stay connected and access the digital resources they need to work and live more effectively.

OneWeb's commitment to the maritime industry is rooted in its desire to help drive progress and development in this vital sector. With faster and more reliable connectivity, OneWeb aims to foster innovation and creativity in maritime industries, creating opportunities for growth and prosperity for those who rely on the oceans for their livelihoods.

70% of the world’s surface is covered by oceans. OneWeb’s mission is to connect these oceans and herald a new era of smarter shipping.
