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.
NexusWave
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.
ViaSat-3 Ka-band service
NexusWave ensures managed performance levels regardless of the vessel’s location or requirements
The future-proof NexusWave will also integrate the next-generation ultra-high capacity high-speed ViaSat-3 Ka-band service, following its 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 the 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.
Data consumption and speeds
Ben Palmer OBE, President, of 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."
He adds, "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."
Anywhere, anytime operations
Ben Palmer OBE continues, "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 fulfills all of those demands and more."
He further said, "Truly a game-changer in maritime communications, the new solution gives our customers the confidence to operate on their terms, anywhere in the world, with complete peace of mind."
Technical assistance and guidance
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.
