Inmarsat Maritime has launched NexusWave, a connectivity service developed for high-speed connectivity, unlimited data, global coverage, and ‘secure by design’ infrastructure.
NexusWave is a fully managed service delivered by a single provider, that integrates multiple high-speed networks in real time – Global Xpress (GX) Ka-band, low-Earth orbit (LEO) services, and as-available coastal LTE service – with an additional layer of L-band for resiliency – for fast, always-on connectivity.
The solution also offers enterprise grade firewall security.
NexusWave will also integrate the next-generation ultra-high capacity high-speed ViaSat-3 Ka-band service, which is expected to enter service in 2025.
The system has been developed to provide performance levels regardless of the vessel’s location or requirements.
“Maritime operators face ever-growing demand for data consumption and speeds on board their vessels, coupled with the operational challenges of connecting worldwide while ensuring the security and efficiency of their communications,” said Ben Palmer OBE, president, Inmarsat Maritime.
“Meeting all these requirements typically relies on multiple, disjointed solutions, resulting in a complex patchwork of data caps, speeds, and coverage, in addition to unverifiable cyber security.”
He added: “At a time when reliable communications are a competitive advantage, maritime operators are seeking a value proposition tailored to their needs and rooted in high performance, certainty, and targeted outcomes.
“This is where NexusWave fulfils all of those demands, and more.”
