At-sea Communications & Airtime Plans

At-sea connectivity

We can connect you no matter where you are. Our goal is to help our clients make the right decisions to choose the optimum onboard VSAT connectivity solution (Ka, Ku, and C-Band), based on coverage, quality, value, functional efficiencies, flexibility, and cost effectiveness. We fully understand the diverse application needs of the end customers and offer the highest quality connectivity solutions with guaranteed bandwidths and flexible options for temporary service upgrades and/or suspension periods. We have very close alliances with the best-in-class satellite service providers, to provide the best at-sea connectivity service in the industry. Our wide-ranging, flexible airtime packages offer very competitive rates and usage allowances. The package includes VoIP lines that provide inexpensive, secure and quality voice calls through the VSAT connection. We will ensure a smooth installation and commissioning of what will be a first class at-sea broadband service.

In addition to 24/7 support services from the satellite network operations centres, we also provide first-level technical support service and remote monitoring of link and equipment parameters. We take a hands-on approach to customer support on all levels and this is how we excel as service providers.

Elon Marine is a trusted partner to the leading maritime satellite service providers, that value its vision, creativity, technical knowledge and clear commercial focus. We are here to help you evaluate all your communications needs as far in advance of your plans as possible. For consistent quality of service, with some additional equipment we can set-up prioritisation options to allocate bandwidth per user group or set a separate minimum level for crew if required. This means that we give you control over how the bandwidth you purchase is used. Our wealth of experience has proved that providing onboard hardware with built-in capabilities for managing Internet access is a critical factor in having a successful VSAT connectivity solution. We also use trouble shooting tools that will allow the ETOs to proactively detect and prevent your onboard network problems via a user-friendly graphical display. Please call us if you wish to discuss VSAT antenna systems, antenna maintenance or airtime subscription packages.

Innovative Satellite Flat-Panel Solutions

The game-changing electronically steered flat panel antenna technology is now commercially available. This revolutionary technology is changing the face of superyacht communications. Today you can escape from the constraints of old, heavy, mechanically steered domes by replacing them with innovative technology that can connect seamlessly with your vessel and offer a wealth of advantages. This solution would be perfect for yachts where aesthetics is of the essence to the owner as these antennas can be recessed into the superstructure of yachts. A regional basic system will require only one flat-panel antenna mounted horizontally. 

For superyachts the system is available with various concept options, combining multi-panel solutions to ensure seamless connectivity. Multiple panels can be placed around the yacht in various positions that will eliminate antenna blockage. Unique airtime plans are available at seriously competitive prices on a par with conventional pedestal antennas (Radomes).
