Spreading the net of dependable connectivity

Fish assured in the most treacherous waters; we’ve got you covered from the Mediterranean, up to 79° North.

Commercial fishing fleet operators depend on reliable VSAT connectivity for their vessels to streamline and optimise operations. Given that fishing is among the most dangerous occupations at sea, it is crucial to uphold stringent safety standards, adhere to industry regulations, and maintain strict schedules to ensure both responsible, profitable operations and the welfare of their onboard crew.

With exceptional coverage in the Northern Atlantic, Nordic region, and Mediterranean, we have been providing reliable VSAT internet to the fishing industry for over 30 years, enhancing operations, improving safety, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
