From drilling vessels and support ships to production platforms and coastal facilities, connectivity at sea is mission-critical — yet often unreliable.
iNet’s Continuum™ architecture delivers secure, high-performance networking over Starlink, OneWeb, LTE maritime backhaul, and terrestrial links, ensuring seamless communication between offshore assets and onshore operations.
With Sentinel™ security, Nexora™ analytics, and Construct™ deployment, iNet provides a complete, managed network ecosystem built for the rigors of maritime and offshore energy environments.
