Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime: Meeting Post-pandemic Maritime and Aviation Connectivity Expectations

Date posted: 2022

Real-time high-data rate connectivity at any place is a hot topic within the maritime and aviation industries. The pandemic has shifted expectations and demand for (satellite) connectivity in remote areas at sea and in the air. With upgrades in technology, ground infrastructures, terminals and satellite capabilities, next-gen connectivity onboard an airline’s or ship owner’s fleet is closer than ever – but some key hurdles are yet to be overcome.

From Hybrid Terrestrial and Non-Terrestrial Networks to Next-gen Ground Terminals: Outlining Requirements for Mobility Satellite Connectivity

Date posted: 2022

A key connectivity requirement within the maritime and aviation sectors is high-data transfer in remote areas. Having continuous access to such connectivity is important to address and resolve industry trends and challenges such as decarbonisation, autonomy, remote maintenance and passenger and crew entertainment and wellbeing. Low-Earth orbit (LEO) constellations combined with satellites in other orbits, as well as a sound satellite ground infrastructure combined with terrestrial networks can bring great potential to these mobility end-user markets.
