Viasat Rolls Out Maritime Service That Melds NGSO, GSO and LTE Connectivity

Viasat's Inmarsat is trying to make a bigger push into maritime connectivity as it unveiled its NexusWave service Monday. The connectivity offering ties together Inmarsat's Global Express low earth orbit Ka-band connectivity with coastal LTE service and, starting in 2025, ViaSat-3 geostationary orbit Ka-band service. Inmarsat Maritime President Ben Palmer said while maritime has often had to rely "on multiple, disjointed solutions ... NexusWave fulfills all of those demands."
