AST Networks has launched Phase2, an enhanced connectivity service powered by Eutelsat’s OneWeb low Earth orbit network, targeting maritime, offshore, enterprise and remote operations.
The new offer builds on AST Networks’ existing OneWeb-based portfolio with broader service availability, more flexible commercial plans, private networking options and managed support services.
Phase2 has been designed for operators facing rising demand for cloud applications, remote monitoring, crew welfare, cybersecurity and real-time operational data. The service includes fixed-data plans, pay-as-you-go connectivity, unlimited options, dynamic fleet pooling, flexible migration between packages and 24/7 monitoring and technical support.
“Connectivity is no longer simply about getting online,” said Gregory Darling, founder and chairman of AST Networks. “Our customers need reliable coverage, predictable performance, stronger security, and the flexibility to adapt as operational requirements evolve.”
The company said Phase2 also includes private and secure networking through AST Networks’ global points of presence, with additional cybersecurity services available for customers seeking protection across operational technology, IT, IoT, vessels, remote sites and connected assets.
Thierry Polycarpe, vice president aero and maritime connectivity at Eutelsat, said customers increasingly want connectivity solutions that combine “performance, resilience, security and flexibility”.
