Speedcast has deployed Starlink for more than a third of its customers across all maritime and enterprise applications.
Leading global communications and network service provider, Speedcast announced that the company officially surpassed the 10,000 mark in Starlink kit sales as of November 2024. The milestone comes two years after Speedcast became the worlds first authorised integrator of the low latency, low Earth orbit (LEO) service to the enterprise and maritime sectors.
Since then, Speedcast has deployed Starlink for more than a third of its customers across all maritime and enterprise applications, delivering the technology as part of a primary, multipath, or new dual-LEO service across their remote sites. The company leads the way not only in kit sales, but also testing and performance assessments, helping customers use those insights and navigate Starlinks enterprise offering to accelerate their remote site operations. In October 2024, Starlink announced that the company would be introducing a service level agreement (SLA) in early 2025.
Commenting on the achievement, James Trevelyan, Executive Vice President, Global Sales at Speedcast, said: Starlinks performance means that it has rapidly become a key component of Speedcasts expansive connectivity toolkit. Next year, we look forward to the introduction of a 99.9% SLA from Starlink, representing just one of the developments that will further drive sales growth in 2025. Other boosts to the portfolio include the next major release of our SIGMA Edge Networking software, which will allow the greatest levels of visibility and control ever seen at the remote site.
Speedcast maintains one of the largest connectivity portfolios in the world, leveraging its SIGMA platform to integrate Starlink with other LEO, GEO and MEO VSAT options, as well as L-band, 4G/LTE, microwave and fiber, depending on customer requirements and operating environment.
The companys Starlink expertise reaches as far as the Arctic and Antarctic, where Speedcast has added the LEO solution to comprehensive network services for polar exploration vessels, as well as connectivity for the land and ocean-based research operations. Other notable installations implemented by Speedcast include the worlds first fleet-wide deployment of Starlink in the cruise sector, as well as remote vehicle and railway connectivity for one of the largest mining, construction, and logistics operators in Brazil.
