Offshore connectivity for every need
IEC Telecom's satellite telecommunications meet the need for operational connectivity to manage professional activities, critical communications during rescue or assistance operations, and even on-board entertainment. They are now a must-have for all sailors, whether professionals or amateurs, and form an indispensable component of their equipment, ensuring reliable and secure connectivity at sea.
Gwenaël Lohéac, President of IEC Telecom Europe, underlines the importance of communication at sea, saying: "Today, communication at sea is an essential element in guaranteeing boat safety, whether through telephone communication to keep abreast of what's happening on board, e-mail or access to weather and routing information. In addition, these services also offer entertainment possibilities with access to TV, Internet, streaming platforms and games."
Satellite communications, a pillar of safety for sailors
Safety at sea is an absolute priority for sailors. IEC Telecom offers satellite communication solutions that guarantee permanent connectivity, enabling sailors to stay in touch with rescue coordination centers and shore teams. In the event of an accident, emergency or piracy, instant communication with rescue services and the relevant authorities can mean the difference between life and death. Thanks to IEC Telecom's satellite communications, sailors can enjoy peace of mind in the knowledge that they have a secure and reliable connection, even in the middle of the ocean.
Satellite communications, essential for professional maritime activities
Professional maritime activities require effective communication to keep them running smoothly. IEC Telecom offers tailor-made connectivity solutions to maritime industries such as fishing, oil and gas, shipping and many others. With satellite communications, ships can stay connected to their operational bases, transmit real-time data and coordinate their activities. Up-to-date weather information, chart updates and optimized routing contribute to the safety and efficiency of maritime operations.
Satellite communications, a must for leisure and entertainment at sea
For yachtsmen, professional crews and cruise ship passengers, IEC Telecom offers a communications experience at sea similar to that on land. With fast, powerful Internet connectivity, sailors can stay connected with loved ones, work remotely and enjoy online entertainment even while on the high seas. Applications based on satellite connectivity, such as Internet telephony and videoconferencing, offer boaters a complete experience during their sea voyages.
In recent years, satellite communication services have undergone a remarkable evolution. Once expensive and characterized by limited download speeds, they are now available at affordable prices while offering connection speeds similar to home connections. New technological advances, such as Elon Musk's Starlink, are revolutionizing the sector, offering download speeds of up to 250 Mbit/s at competitive rates. These services offer worldwide coverage with no roaming charges, enabling reliable and affordable connectivity regardless of location, unlike traditional GSM networks.
