VSAT
YACHT CLIENTS WANT FULL INTERNET REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING CONSISTENCY OF SPEED AND SERVICE AND EXPECT THE SAME STANDARD AS A GOOD 5-STAR HOTEL
Regarding the ever-present need to have security in place, Excelerate have their roots working with Government emergency response and mission-critical incidents, so their level of network security and protection ticks almost every box.
David said, “Our teleports are ISO 27001 accredited, and this gives us capability and credibility for Level 4 risk – an internationally recognised 24/7 security level required by many Government departments before major contracts are offered. Not just for cyber-security, but total resilience, whereby we operate 2x teleports and 2x satellites inter-connected, with instantaneous failover, so if one goes down the network continues to function via the other.”
“In the same way some businesses have good cyber-security policies in place and others don’t, the same rule applies to yachts, so, where we can, we try and ‘mitigate’ risk by offering all our clients help with their on-board security advice or needs.”
When questioned about security, OmniAccess’ Carlos Carbajal, confirmed, “Security is paramount and present in all our products in multiple forms. We we take a global view, utilising a combination of tools, applications and processes to ensure our clients traffic is always secured. From encryption of over-the- air traffic, management of on-board firewalls and encryption of VOIP communications, we take security very seriously indeed.”

With speeds of up to 400mbps achievable from GEO satellites, final delivery is still very good, but from iphone to satellite and back it’s a 72,000km round-trip, and latency can present problems, combined with other logistical difficulties associated with the vast distances involved.
Regarded a major and significant step-change within the communications industry, low earth orbit LEO satellites are predicted to overcome many of the difficulties some users are currently experiencing, a view commonly held by David Savage, when he said, “In the next decade or so, I foresee we will walk out of the office, the i-phone will be working on Low Orbit satellites and a 5G network and we won’t even know it because it will all work seamlessly, on one bill, that won’t be excessively expensive either.”
Others such as OmniAccess have clearly set out their future strategy, as Carlos Cabajal told me, “We’re closely engaged with Telesat as launching partner of their upcoming LEO constellation projected for 2022-23. The planned LEO constellation includes 200+ new satellites, which will offer global coverage, much higher speeds than current VSAT technology, as well as much lower latency. We have already started testing the first LEO satellite recently launched by Telesat and we’re confident this is the future of satellite connectivity for the marine industry and the service will more than satisfy the demands of Owners.”
