Singtel augments maritime portfolio with Starlink connectivity

Sunday, 21 January 2024 16:46

Singaporean telecommunications conglomerate Singtel announced it will leverage Starlink’s satellites to drive the digital solutions usage of ship owners and operators, allowing them to tap artificial intelligence, 5G, edge, and computing, improving safety, operations, and their crew’s well-being.

Singtel said the connectivity provided by Starlink will help them analyse data in real-time, reduce costs of fuel consumption and operational maintenance.

Starlink has 5,000 satellites in its constellation. It can provide maritime coverage for all sizes, delivering up to 200Mbps download speeds.

It can withstand harsh conditions, operating temperatures from -30°C to 50°C.

Starlink is the first low Earth orbit (LEO) broadband service to be added to iSHIP, Singtel’s digital smart solutions for vessels portfolio.

The portfolio includes Paragon, Singtel’s orchestration platform for 5G edge computing and cloud services.

Paragon will manage and automate the smart switching between satellite communication services to ensure connection in ships as they travel remains uninterrupted.

The connection will allow ships to leverage edge computing, host mission critical applications either on-premises or at shore.

“The addition of Starlink to our existing suite of satellite communications solutions, orchestrated by our patented Paragon platform, is part of our multi-orbit strategy to increase the resilience of satellite connectivity in the industry and to enable the rapid adoption of digital technologies and solutions,” said Singtel Digital InfraCo CEO Bill Chang.
