Eutelsat and longtime partner Station Satcom, a specialist in maritime communications headquartered in India, have signed a new agreement to deliver Eutelsat’s OneWeb LEO connectivity services to the global maritime sector. The deal marks a significant strategic expansion for Station Satcom, which will integrate OneWeb’s LEO capabilities into its portfolio to provide hybrid satellite connectivity across the world’s oceans.

This agreement reflects the growing demand for high-performance connectivity at sea, and reinforces our commitment to delivering secure, high-speed, low-latency solutions that power the digital evolution of the maritime industry.”
