      OneWeb and AST partner to improve connectivity at sea

      Staff Reporter by Staff Reporter
      April 8, 2021
      in Satellite/Comms
      ShareTweetPostEmail

      This agreement marks the next step in accelerating LEO connectivity for the global shipping and offshore industries.

      OneWeb has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with The AST Group (AST), a global player in satellite communications systems, as part of its mission to deliver low latency, fibre-like connectivity to the maritime and offshore industries.

      AST and OneWeb will offer fixed land and maritime customers access to OneWeb’s fast, flexible and affordable connectivity solutions seamlessly in even the most remote locations on land and at sea. Customer beta trials will be undertaken with AST before the end of the year and will be focused on delivering fixed services to support remote connectivity in Northern Europe.

      Once full commercial service is available in 2022, OneWeb seeks to provide AST’s customers, primarily in the commercial shipping, fishing and high-end offshore sectors, with access to viable, high speed, low latency connectivity as an alternative to the current VSAT internet solutions to enable digitalisation and deliver the long-awaited leap in operational efficiencies. 

      Commenting on the partnership, Carole Plessy, Head of Maritime at OneWeb, said: “OneWeb believes that connectivity at sea should be as seamless and simple as it is onshore to improve the overall efficiency, sustainability and profitability of the maritime and offshore industries.

      “We’re proud to work with The AST Group, not just because of the strength of its market insight, reach and capabilities, but because of our shared belief that remote, faultless connectivity is essential to delivering operational excellence. By partnering with AST, we are another step closer to making LEO connectivity available to more marine and offshore customers, ending the legacy of complex, slow and costly VSAT systems.” 

      Gregory Darling, AST’s founder and Chairman added: “We’re delighted to strengthen our relationship with OneWeb by becoming its distribution partner so that we can offer customers a fibre-like alternative to current solutions. AST’s focus is solution-based to ensure that customers improve their overall operational efficiency. OneWeb’s new satellite constellation and next-generation connectivity aligned with AST’s  INTEGRA network services will enable faster and better communications for the maritime industry. This new agreement marks further progress towards this transition.”
