The new fully managed connectivity service offers a unified
multi-dimensional network, delivering high-speed service, unlimited
data, and global coverage at sea – all through a single
provider.
CARLSBAD, Calif., May 20, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Inmarsat Maritime, a Viasat company, has launched
NexusWave, a fully managed connectivity service underpinned by a
'bonded' multi-dimensional network, offering high-speed
connectivity, unlimited data, global coverage, and 'secure by
design' infrastructure.
Delivered by a single provider, NexusWave is a fully managed
service that seamlessly 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 trusted
by global enterprises and governments.
The future-proof NexusWave will also integrate the
next-generation ultra-high capacity high-speed ViaSat-3 Ka-band
service, following expected entry into service in 2025. As a
unified solution, NexusWave ensures managed performance levels
regardless of the vessel's location or requirements, while
providing complete transparency on total cost of ownership – with
no unexpected charges.
Designed to provide an unparalleled experience in line with
evolving customer needs, the new service supports digitalisation
and crew welfare initiatives by transforming ships into floating
offices and homes.
Ben Palmer OBE, President, Inmarsat
Maritime, said: "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.
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.
"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. Truly a game-changer in maritime communications,
the new solution gives our customers the confidence to operate on
their own terms, anywhere in the world, with complete peace of
mind."
Supported globally and fully managed by Inmarsat, NexusWave
comes with top-tier technical assistance and guidance derived from
decades of experience. The solution will be continuously enhanced
over time, in line with Inmarsat's commitment to delivering
excellence.
"Our combination with Viasat last year brought together the
extraordinary people, innovation capabilities, and network assets
of both businesses, creating a synergy that has been integral to
the development of NexusWave – through which we will ensure
unmatched connected confidence for our customers well into the
future," concluded Ben Palmer.
