As vessels become smarter and operations more data-driven, traditional satellite and roaming solutions can no longer keep up. That’s where Telecom26’s Maritime Connectivity solution comes in providing seamless global communications for crews, passengers, and IoT systems across every ocean route.

The Challenge: Connectivity Without Borders

Ships move constantly across networks, jurisdictions, and coverage zones switching between cellular, satellite, and private radio systems. The result?

• Unreliable handovers between networks
• Uneven or inconsistent coverage at sea
• Complex billing and management for multiple SIMs and providers

These challenges don’t just affect operations they impact safety, efficiency, and the crew’s quality of life onboard.

The Telecom26 Advantage: One SIM, One Global Network

At Telecom26, we simplify global maritime communications through our operator-owned core network and multi-IMSI global SIMs, providing continuous connectivity across 1,100+ partner networks in over 200 countries and territories.
