Connectivity
The requirement for connectivity at sea went from being a luxury just a decade ago to now being expected and demanded. People rely on an internet connection for entertainment, work, and sharing their experience in real-time with those that matter to them.
Besides the end-user demand, smart ships need reliable uninterrupted bandwidth for IoT, and connectivity is vital for operations to run smoothly and effectively.
VSAT
VIDA’s own network is designed to focus on high-traffic sailing regions with backup global coverage.
5G/Wifi
Alternate solutions to be used as backup to satellite or for a more cost-effective connection.
Optimization
Proprietary software tools enhance bandwidth quality and allocation.
Markets
The diversity in the maritime sector is huge, and we have solutions that address their different needs.
VSAT
As the need for connectivity exponentially increases, so do the technologies available to deliver that connection. Satellite bandwidth, a once expensive and extreme commodity, is now available in new orbits, high-throughput signals, and multiple bands. A very small aperture terminal (VSAT) is most frequently used for connectivity when ships are at sea and antennas can vary in size depending on the frequency.
VIDA integrates diverse satellite operators with an open architecture platform to deliver the most reliable signal available to clients. Besides, future proof above and below deck hardware is available for lease or purchase with the service, an end-to-end solution so you don’t have to stress. VIDA’s optimized network is designed for operational data and end-user streaming, with market-specific software solutions that help clients make the most of their bandwidth usage.

5G/WIFI
Alternatives to a satellite link are efficient and cost-effective when a vessel is near the shore.
Whether it’s a data card or in-port Wi-Fi picked up as the vessel is approaching the port, VIDA solutions enable you to transition from a VSAT connection to a land-based signal seamlessly and efficiently.
