4G/5G: Stay connected on the go

High-speed connectivity has become essential for modern navigation. Whether for weather forecasting, emergency communications, or remote work, a reliable 4G/5G connection is indispensable. Skysat offers a carefully curated selection of equipment, based on our experience with the challenges of the marine environment. Discover the solutions tailored to your needs, without compromising on performance and robustness.

choosing the right 4g/5g antenna

The performance of a 4G/5G system depends largely on the quality of the antenna. It is crucial to select a model suited to your browsing area and the type of network available. Skysat guides you in this choice, taking into account sensitivity, gain, and resistance to marine conditions.

• 4G/5G omnidirectional antennas: Ideal for 360° coverage, suitable for coastal areas with good network density.
• 4G/5G directional antennas: These allow you to target a specific cell tower to maximize signal strength in more distant areas. They require precise aiming.
• 4G/5G MIMO antennas: Use multiple antennas to improve connection speed and stability, particularly effective in 5G.
• Waterproof 4G/5G enclosures: Integrate the antenna and router into a single robust enclosure, designed to withstand sea spray and UV rays.

optimize your onboard network

Once the antenna is selected, it is essential to properly configure the onboard network to ensure optimal signal distribution. Skysat offers high-performance routers and access points compatible with the latest security protocols. Integration with your NMEA 2000 network can also be considered for centralized monitoring.

• 4G/5G routers with redundant SIM: Automatically switch to a second SIM card if the first one loses signal.
• Long-range Wi-Fi access points: Extend onboard Wi-Fi coverage, allowing multiple devices to be connected simultaneously.
• Integrated firewall and VPN: Protect your network against intrusions and ensure the confidentiality of your data.
• Remote management: Allows you to monitor and configure your network remotely, via a web interface or a mobile application.

data consumption management

Data consumption can quickly become a significant expense when browsing. It is therefore crucial to implement control and monitoring mechanisms. Skysat advises you on best practices to optimize your consumption and avoid unpleasant surprises.

• Consumption tracking applications: Allow you to view in real time the amount of data used by each device.
• Overage alerts: Notify you when you are approaching your plan limit, allowing you to act quickly.
• Data compression: Reduces the size of transferred data, allowing consumption to be limited without compromising quality.
• Application settings: Configure your applications to limit background data usage (automatic updates, synchronization).

💡 Skysat's advice

Before investing in 4G/5G equipment, check network coverage in your browsing area with local operators. A multi-operator SIM card can be a good solution to maximize your chances of staying connected.
