The low-profile, rack-mounted router is the next evolution of the well-established SD Router family which supports connectivity for more than 2,500 business aircraft and incorporates powerful core software developed specifically to bolster connectivity at sea.

Optimise reliable connectivity
With a single touchpoint for all aircraft and yacht connectivity SD is revolutionising the connectivity experience for owners, operators, and brokers that manage a portfolio of valuable assets.
“Operational, regulatory, passenger, and crew requirements are putting growing pressure on yacht owners to optimise reliable connectivity throughout a vessel’s entire journey, so having access to high-speed global connectivity at sea today is essential," comments Michael Skou-Christensen, Chief Commercial Officer for Satcom Direct.
Streamlining connectivity management
"With Intelsat FlexMaritime solution, our customers will have consistent connectivity wherever and whenever they need it."
“We are transferring our experience from the skies to the seas to streamline the connectivity management experience. We are the only company that can offer this singular service and we know that our multi-asset owners welcome this option.”
Always-on connectivity
Intelsat FlexMaritime leverages Intelsat’s global fleet of multi-layered, high-throughput satellites (HTS) to provide ship owners and operators with “always-on” connectivity in even the most densely populated or remote shipping lanes.
The flexible service plans support consistent connectivity for the extended periods these elite yachts spend at sea. With FlexMaritime, yachts remain connected, even when their travel routes or bandwidth demands shift unexpectedly.
