Description
Global Maritime Connectivity
Built on the Iridium Certus® 200 service, the SkyLink 6100 provides reliable communications anywhere within Iridium's truly global satellite coverage. Unlike regional maritime services, the Iridium low Earth orbit (LEO) constellation delivers continuous connectivity across oceans, coastal waters, inland waterways, and polar regions.
The system supports simultaneous voice and broadband IP data, allowing vessels to maintain communications for operational reporting, internet access, weather information, remote diagnostics, and business applications throughout their voyage.
Designed for Life at Sea
The SkyLink 6100 is engineered specifically for permanent marine installations. Its rugged scan antenna continuously tracks the Iridium satellite constellation without requiring manual adjustment, helping maintain reliable connectivity even as vessel heading and sea conditions change.
The compact antenna is designed for installation aboard vessels where space is limited, while the below-deck equipment integrates easily with existing onboard communications and networking systems.
Built for Modern Vessel Operations
More than a satellite phone system, the SkyLink 6100 serves as a communications platform that supports onboard operations, business continuity, and crew welfare. Secure VPN connectivity allows vessels to access company networks remotely, while broadband data supports electronic reporting, software updates, weather services, and cloud-based applications.
The platform also supports remote monitoring and telemetry, making it suitable for operators managing fleets or monitoring vessel systems from shore.
Typical applications include:
- Commercial fishing fleets
- Workboats and service vessels
- Government and patrol vessels
- Research and survey vessels
- Offshore support operations
- Recreational yachts
Reliable Communications for Every Voyage
Whether coordinating vessel operations, transmitting reports, supporting onboard business systems, or providing internet access for crew communications, the SkyLink 6100 delivers dependable satellite connectivity wherever vessels operate. Its combination of global Iridium coverage, professional-grade hardware, and permanent marine installation makes it a practical solution for organizations that rely on continuous communications at sea.
