by Stuart Castell – Director of Maritime & Energy When Starlink is discussed within the maritime satellite service industry it is often portrayed as some novel toy or cheap alternative to the “real thing” such as VSAT.  Terms such as best effort, unguaranteed, and NGSO (Non Geostationary Satellites) are often bandied about. NGSO is interesting

Mining and exploration companies rely heavily on communication technologies to run their remote operations efficiently and safely. In practice, until now most mining projects have had to make do with poor coverage and slow internet speeds, due to the remoteness of these sites. As well as a negative impact on productivity, this also has serious

Whether it’s dealing with natural disasters such as earthquakes, flooding or wildfires, Starlink’s reliable, high-speed and low-latency internet has proven to be of great use to emergency responders around the world. When a disaster hits, it’s necessary to act quickly and provide help where it is needed most. Information about a disaster area is crucial

Starlink provides reliable, fast, and cost-effective satellite internet to oil and gas companies around the world, providing a strong technological foundation for deploying other communication technologies, including private 5G networks, to create an unrivaled, high-speed, low-latency connection. Oil and gas companies have many resources that need to be managed 24/7. This is only possible with
