Are you ready for the new era of cruise connectivity?
This is the future of onboard internet
As the sun sets, passengers post snaps of the day’s excursion, others stream live news before dinner. Below deck, a crew member video calls his daughter a bedtime story, starting his shift happy that he’s said goodnight. Not one of their screens, and the thousands of others on board, suffer from delay, drop out or poor quality. It is the difference between a five star and a four-star review.
O3b mPOWER, the industry’s most advanced satellite constellation, enables this new era of guest connectivity with unrivalled performance, flexibility, resilience and scalability.
Enabled by O3b mPOWER
Performance
Low-latency and guaranteed high throughput of multiple gigabits per second per link. Your connected ship will take customer experience to the next level.
Flexibility
Your bandwidth, your choice. Allocate capacity to different ships in your fleet, as and when needed. This enables lag-free streaming, smart ship technology and high-performance cloud services.
Future-proofing
System-wide scalability and guaranteed bandwidth at unmatched rates give you the freedom to delight thousands of passengers and enable a full digital transformation of onboard operations. When you’re ready to scale, we're there.
Resilient global coverage
The industry’s only multi-orbit fleet benefits from the low latency of MEO, automatically switching to our GEO fleet when this is out of range. This guarantees high-quality coverage, no matter the location.

O3b mPOWER: Cruise & Maritime

Kristina Smith-Meyer hears from our VP of the maritime segment at SES, Gregory Martin.
