NELCO announced the launch of maritime communication services. Nelco is the first Indian company that will now provide
quality broadband services to the maritime sector.
Maritime Connectivity will enable high-end support to those in sea by providing access to Voice, Data
and Video services while traveling on sailing vessels, cruise liners, ships in India, using satellite
technology. Nelco through global partnerships, infrastructure including transponder capacity on
satellite of ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) and a comprehensive service portfolio will help
Energy, Cargo and Cruise vessels by enhancing operational efficiency, improving crew welfare and
enabling customer services. The IFMC licence has not only enabled connectivity for on-board users on
ships but also brings operational efficiencies for shipping companies which were less evolved until
now.
In the next 24 months, Nelco plans to establish itself as a leader in the maritime communications space
by introducing the services to more maritime vessels of the Indian shipping companies and also
facilitating international ships coming to India to use the communication services in Indian waters.
