The OneWeb constellation
Operated by Eutelsat Group, OneWeb is a constellation of over 600 low-earth orbit satellites distributed across 12 orbital planes at 1,200 km altitude. This provides seamless pole-to-pole coverage, including the Arctic — a region where many other constellations have limited or no capacity.
12 orbital planes
Satellites are arranged in a Walker-Star pattern across 12 synchronized planes at 87° inclination, ensuring continuous global coverage with overlapping beams from pole to pole.
Ku-band flat panels
Electronically steered and stabilized flat-panel antennas track satellites in real time. Maritime terminals are designed for harsh ocean environments with IP56/IP66 protection ratings.
40+ ground gateways
A global network of over 40 ground station gateways connects the constellation to terrestrial networks, enabling low-latency handoff to the internet, private WANs, and cloud environments.
Why enterprises choose OneWeb
OneWeb is purpose-built for organizations that require deterministic performance, guaranteed bandwidth, and network isolation — not just high peak throughput.
Committed Information Rate (CIR)
Dedicated, guaranteed bandwidth that is not dynamically shared. Every plan includes a contractual CIR, ensuring predictable throughput for mission-critical applications regardless of network load.
Enterprise SLAs
Contractual Service Level Agreements with uptime commitments, latency guarantees, and performance targets. Backed by 24/7 phone-based support for rapid incident resolution.
Global private networking (IPVPN)
Route traffic directly to your corporate WAN, MPLS backbone, or cloud provider without traversing the public internet. Static IP addressing and three priority traffic classes included.
AES 256-bit encryption
End-to-end data encryption across every link in the network. Combined with enterprise-grade firewalls and access controls, OneWeb is built for security-first organizations.
Fewer handovers, smoother connectivity
At 1,200 km altitude, each OneWeb satellite covers a significantly larger area than lower-orbit constellations. This means fewer terminal handovers, reduced dropout risk, and more stable connections.
Dedicated enterprise network
OneWeb is exclusively B2B — capacity is not shared with millions of consumer users. This enterprise-only architecture ensures more predictable performance and network prioritization.
LEO + LEO: dual-constellation resilience
ELCOME is deploying advanced dual-LEO maritime connectivity by pairing Starlink with OneWeb into a single, managed service. This dual-constellation architecture combines Starlink's high-speed, low-latency capacity with OneWeb's deterministic, enterprise-grade networking — delivering unmatched resilience for vessels that cannot afford downtime.
Starlink
High throughput, low latency
Best for crew welfare & general ops
OneWeb
Guaranteed CIR, enterprise SLAs
Best for critical ops & IPVPN
Up to 99.99% availability
Dual-constellation failover eliminates single points of failure. If one constellation is temporarily occluded or degraded, traffic seamlessly routes through the other.
Policy-based traffic routing
Intelligent SD-WAN integration routes traffic by application type: latency-sensitive operations on Starlink, guaranteed-bandwidth workloads on OneWeb, with automatic failover between them.
Cost-optimized connectivity
Blend high-speed Starlink capacity with guaranteed OneWeb CIR to match each application to the most cost-effective link, reducing total connectivity spend.
Compliance & sovereignty
Use OneWeb IPVPN for traffic requiring guaranteed bandwidth and compliance with corporate security policies, while Starlink handles general crew welfare and operational data.
Global private networking
OneWeb is the only maritime LEO service with global private network interconnect support. Route vessel traffic directly to your corporate WAN, cloud provider, or MPLS backbone — without ever touching the public internet.
L3 BGP interconnect
Establish BGP peering sessions between your network and OneWeb's core via dedicated ports at strategic points of presence. Announce your own IP prefixes and receive OneWeb routes for full routing control.
IPVPN with QoS classes
Three priority traffic levels plus best effort, with committed quality of service. Route critical operational data at the highest priority while crew welfare traffic flows at standard priority.
Direct cloud on-ramp
Connect from vessel to cloud without crossing the public internet. Route OneWeb traffic directly into AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud via private peering, reducing latency and improving security.
Corporate WAN integration
Extend your onshore MPLS or SD-WAN fabric to vessels at sea. Static IP addressing and private routing allow seamless integration with existing corporate network infrastructure and security policies.
L3 PNI now available for OneWeb
ELCOME now offers Layer 3 BGP private network interconnect for OneWeb maritime customers. Unlike Starlink PNI, which is limited to in-country traffic routing, OneWeb PNI operates globally — including international waters — making it the only LEO PNI solution available for ocean-going vessels.
Maritime terminals
Two OneWeb-certified maritime flat panel terminals from Intellian: a compact option for space-conscious installs and an enterprise-class full-duplex panel for higher throughput.
Compact Maritime Flat Panel
Entry-level LEO terminal for smaller vessels, workboats, and cost-sensitive deployments. Half-duplex operation delivers up to 30 Mbps down / 6 Mbps up in a compact, lightweight form factor.
Enterprise Maritime Flat Panel
Enterprise flat panel with simultaneous transmit and receive for higher throughput. Delivers up to 100 Mbps down / 20 Mbps up, ideal for offshore platforms, cargo fleets, and government vessels.

Built for maritime operations
From commercial shipping fleets to Arctic research stations, OneWeb through ELCOME serves maritime organizations that demand guaranteed bandwidth, security, and operational continuity.
Fleet-wide connectivity with guaranteed bandwidth
Enable digital operations at sea with deterministic, SLA-backed connectivity. Support voyage optimization, cargo tracking, electronic chart updates, and regulatory compliance reporting with committed bandwidth that never degrades during peak hours.
Mission-critical links for platforms and FPSOs
Connect offshore rigs, FPSOs, and support vessels with guaranteed CIR for SCADA telemetry, remote monitoring, and predictive maintenance. IPVPN routing ensures operational data flows directly to onshore control rooms without touching the public internet.
Secure, sovereign communications at sea
AES 256-bit encryption, IPVPN isolation, and enterprise-grade access controls meet the security requirements of naval, coast guard, and peacekeeping operations. OneWeb provides the network determinism that government missions demand.
Scalable throughput for crew and guests
Deliver high-quality internet for passenger entertainment, crew welfare, and onboard operations. Flexible service plans scale bandwidth to match passenger demand while maintaining dedicated CIR for bridge and safety-critical systems.
Exceptional capacity where others can't reach
OneWeb was the first LEO constellation to deliver coverage across the Arctic and polar regions. Vessels transiting Northern Sea Routes, polar research stations, and Arctic resource operations benefit from connectivity that GEO and lower-orbit constellations cannot reliably provide.
Premium connectivity with network isolation
Deliver high-speed, low-latency internet for guests and crew with IPVPN support for the owner's private network. Enterprise SLAs ensure consistent performance across global cruising routes.
