Business Continuity

Build Resilience Into Your Connectivity Architecture

A single communications path may not always provide the level of resilience required for operationally important environments.

Satellite connectivity can provide an independent communications path as part of a wider business continuity or hybrid connectivity architecture. The final architecture should be designed around the customer's requirements.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Inmarsat satellite connectivity refers to mobile satellite services delivered through geostationary satellite networks. It provides voice and data communications for users operating in locations where terrestrial networks are unavailable, unreliable or impractical.

Inmarsat services are commonly used for maritime communications, aviation connectivity, enterprise and remote-site communications, mobile and portable connectivity, tracking, and resilient communications paths for operationally important environments.

Yes. Inmarsat services are widely used across maritime environments for vessel operations, business applications, crew communications and shore-based coordination, and can be combined with maritime VSAT and LEO services within a hybrid architecture.

Inmarsat provides aviation-focused satellite services that can support selected aircraft communications, operational connectivity and connected aircraft environments. The suitable option depends on aircraft type, certification and operational requirements.

Yes. Satellite connectivity can extend enterprise communications to remote offices, industrial facilities, construction sites, energy operations and temporary locations where fiber or cellular coverage is not available or not sufficient.

Inmarsat is a geostationary mobile satellite service with established coverage and managed service options. Starlink is a LEO broadband service focused on high throughput and lower latency. Iridium is a low-bandwidth LEO network commonly used for global voice, messaging, tracking and backup communications. Many organizations combine them rather than choosing one.

Yes. Satellite services are typically integrated behind an enterprise network and security layer, alongside fiber, dedicated internet and 4G/5G, so traffic can be routed according to availability, application requirements and cost.

Satellite connectivity can provide an independent communications path that does not depend on local terrestrial infrastructure, which makes it a common option within business continuity and hybrid connectivity architectures.

Selection depends on location, mobility, coverage, bandwidth and application requirements, number of users, operational importance and resilience expectations, alongside the wider network environment already in place.
