The COVID19 pandemic has caused the world much suffering, both personal and economic. But it has also sparked innovation that will have value long after vaccines are finally available.

In mid-2020, Speedcast began installing a new VSAT platform - Dialog from ST Engineering iDirect - to upgrade service aboard a major maritime fleet. The shipowner sought to take advantage of this advanced system, which brings together technologies pioneered by STEi to reduce satellite bandwidth requirements by +50%, increase throughput from the same antennas and boost reliability. But how do you install new technology aboard a hundred ships during a global pandemic?

Best of all, the remote installations took only a fraction of the time and expense of a traditional installer visit. And that is the value that we can take forward into a post-COVID world: bringing high-value technology to our customers faster and at less cost than ever before.
