Choose your WELCOME experience

WELCOME serves two distinct audiences with tailored connectivity solutions.

Maritime Wi-Fi

Pay-as-you-go internet for crew welfare at sea. No cost to ship managers — we provide and install the hardware. Crew purchase their own affordable data plans and stay connected with loved ones.

Community Wi-Fi

High-speed internet for underserved and remote communities. Enabling access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunity where traditional infrastructure cannot reach.

“Quality internet access is now considered a basic human right and connectivity is directly linked to seafarer happiness.”
