Live broadcasting depends on one critical factor: getting content from where it happens to where it needs to be seen. For decades, that has meant satellite trucks, fibre circuits, microwave links and increasingly bonded cellular solutions. Each has strengths. Each has limitations. As live production becomes more mobile and more data-heavy, those limitations become harder […]
Connectivity at sea has always been defined by distance from shore. Near coastal regions, vessels can rely on terrestrial LTE or port-based infrastructure. Once offshore, however, connectivity becomes dependent on satellite systems. Historically, this has meant higher latency, bandwidth constraints and limited real-time capability. As maritime operations become increasingly digitised, that model is under pressure.
Low Earth orbit satellite connectivity has moved from concept to commercial reality. While much of the public discussion has centred on Starlink, OneWeb has established itself as a serious provider in the enterprise satellite market. Now operating as part of Eutelsat Group, OneWeb delivers LEO satellite connectivity designed specifically for governments, enterprises and telecom operators.
The Shift in Satellite Connectivity For decades, GEO VSAT has been the foundation of satellite communications. It has connected offshore platforms, remote enterprise branches, mining sites, maritime vessels and rural communities where terrestrial infrastructure could not reach. Coverage was the priority, and GEO delivered it reliably. Today, the connectivity landscape looks very different. Organisations are
Eutelsat and key OneWeb shareholders sign a Memorandum of Understanding with a view to combining Eutelsat and OneWeb in an all-share transaction. Eutelsat shareholders and OneWeb shareholders would each hold 50% of the Eutelsat shares. Representing a transformational transaction, built on the strong foundations established in April 2021 with Eutelsat’s initial investment in OneWeb, this
Air travel is no longer a luxury way to travel; millions of passengers fly every day, with barely a thought of the fact they are thousands of feet in the air. Something that once amazed passengers is almost no different to hopping in the car. In the 1980s, when the first “connectivity” was introduced onto
Connectivity brings together people, businesses, and countries located thousands of miles apart, driving forward changes in the way we work, live, and communicate. There is much more to connectivity than social media communication and video streaming. “The Internet of Things” is pushing business operations to make use of IoT-enabled devices, and leverage data and automation
Connectivity is essential for managing healthcare – whether it’s for staff computers, IoT devices, machines, or mobile phones. However, particularly in remote and rural areas, access to fast, reliable connectivity has always been problematic. With the rapid digitalisation of healthcare, many providers are now turning to alternative technologies to continue to improve service levels. Traditional
As technology continues to advance, partial and fully autonomous smart ships will soon become a reality, with the Global Autonomous Shipping market currently valued at over six billion dollars (2020). The maritime sector is increasingly turning towards technology to improve all aspects of operations, and to date has only been held back by poor internet
Distribution Partner agreement marks the next step in accelerating low earth orbit connectivity for construction, energy, and utilities. Edinburgh, U.K., 17 February, 2022 – OneWeb, the low earth orbit satellite communications company, announced today a new UK-based distribution partner, The Clarus Networks Group, to deliver OneWeb’s high-speed, low-latency communications services across the U.K. and Northern Europe.
