Maritime Satellite Services: Complete Guide to Ship Connectivity & Communications

Maritime Satellite Services: Complete Guide to Ship Connectivity & Communications

L-band MSS terminals, such as Inmarsat FleetBroadband and Iridium Certus, provide global coverage with compact antennas but limited data throughput. Ku-band VSAT (12–18 GHz) has been the maritime workhorse, Ka-band HTS (26–40 GHz) offers higher capacity, while C-band deployments are restricted near shore due to interference and large dish requirements. GEO satellites offer broad coverage with about 600 ms latency, while LEO Iridium NEXT, a 66-satellite constellation upgraded 2017–2019, provides true global L-band coverage and was recognized as a GMDSS provider in 2020. SpaceX Starlink and OneWeb have emerged as disruptive LEO players in maritime, with Starlink signing on nearly

No Signal? No Problem – Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell Satellites Are Eliminating Dead Zones

Direct-to-Cell Revolution: What It Is and When It Will Work in Your Country

In August 2022, SpaceX and T-Mobile announced a partnership to add Direct-to-Cell texting via Starlink satellites, enabling roaming coverage for remote areas using SpaceX’s constellation. SpaceX launched the first Direct-to-Cell–equipped Starlink satellites in early 2024, and by mid-2025 there were about 400 such satellites in orbit. On January 8, 2024, SpaceX successfully sent a text message from a regular smartphone via a Starlink satellite through T-Mobile’s network. Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell service is expected to start with texting in 2024, add voice calls in 2025, and deliver modest data speeds later. AST SpaceMobile’s BlueWalker 3 prototype uses a ~700 square-foot phased array
