Speedcast, a global communications and IT services provider and Tier 1 Starlink Enterprise Account leader, and Soya IT Marine Solutions have completed the deployment of upgraded digital connectivity solutions on 41 roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vessels for global shipping and logistics company, Wallenius Wilhelmsen.

As part of a connectivity transformation program delivered by Soya IT Marine Solutions for the customer, Speedcast is delivering a global WAN, Starlink and Eutelsat OneWeb dual-LEO solutions, Iridium Certus and LTE-based back-up service across the RoRo fleet.
