Inmarsat Maritime, a Viasat company, has introduced NexusWave, a fully managed connectivity service powered by a ‘bonded’ multi-dimensional network. This service provides high-speed connectivity, unlimited data, worldwide coverage, and a “secure by design” infrastructure. NexusWave, delivered by a single provider, seamlessly integrates multiple high-speed networks in real time, including Global Xpress (GX) Ka-band, low-Earth orbit (LEO) services, and as-available coastal LTE service, with an additional layer of L-band for resilience. This ensures fast, always-on connectivity. The solution also features enterprise-grade firewall security trusted by global enterprises and governments. NexusWave is preparing for the future by integrating the next-generation ultra-high capacity, high-speed ViaSat-3 Ka-band service, which is anticipated to be operational in 2025. As a unified solution, NexusWave guarantees managed performance levels regardless of the vessel’s location or requirements, while providing complete transparency on total cost of ownership with no unexpected charges. Designed to meet evolving customer needs, NexusWave supports digitalization and crew welfare initiatives, transforming ships into floating offices and homes for an unparalleled experience. 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. 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. “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 fulfils all of those demands, and more. Truly a game-changer in maritime communications, the new solution gives our customers the confidence to operate on their own terms, anywhere in the world, with complete peace of mind.”
NexusWave, globally supported and fully managed by Inmarsat, benefits from top-tier technical assistance and decades of expertise. This solution will be continuously improved, reflecting Inmarsat’s dedication to 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.
