OneWeb is building an unparalleled end-to-end system that will supply fibre-like data speeds to every part of the world by 2022. AST and OneWeb believe that connectivity at sea should be as seamless and simple as it is onshore. OneWeb, when aligned with AST’s INTEGRA suite of services, will enable faster and better communications for the maritime industry.
By working together, AST and OneWeb will provide fast, flexible, next-generation connectivity solutions. With global coverage, users will be able to access seamless connectivity in even the most remote locations on land and at sea.
OneWeb’s innovative constellation will provide ground-breaking fibre-like connectivity and AST’s experience and expertise will provide on-site installation, access to the satellite network, and the terrestrial internet – a fully managed service.
AST will begin beta trials for fixed services in Northern Europe in late 2021 with marine connectivity trials following in 2022.
