<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<br>
<br>
Keen to see from industry what the best sat service option/hardware is for one of my boats. It’s a large research boat that heads a fair way out to see (Raine Island for example). Being 100-300km off-shore the ocean gets a bit “pitchy” :). Obviously something
with Starlink is preferred (but also know a marinised version is later this year), but also keen to see what are the best rates/deals on more traditional satellite tech and bandwidth offers. Hoping there’s peeps on here with some maritime capability or contacts.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
