Bond Starlink at sea. One resilient network for every vessel.

Bond multiple Starlink dishes plus 4G/5G cellular and shore Wi-Fi when in range into a single resilient network across the entire vessel. Underway, at anchor, or alongside, every system aboard stays online through the same uplink.

01 · The Challenge

A single satellite link is no match for life at sea.

The ocean is the hardest environment for a single internet connection. Starlink's LEO constellation hands off to a new satellite every 15 seconds. Heavy weather degrades signal. Rigging, masts, derricks, and adjacent vessels can block line-of-sight in an instant. And in a port or marina, every other ship is competing for the same Wi-Fi and cellular spectrum.

For most vessels - commercial fishing boats, workboats, ferries, expedition ships, charter yachts, offshore support vessels - internet connectivity is no longer a nice-to-have. Crew rely on it for welfare and morale on long rotations. Operators rely on it for catch reporting, fuel and engine telemetry, ETA updates, and shoreside coordination. Bridge teams rely on it for weather routing, ENC chart updates, and vessel traffic services. Passengers and guests, where they're aboard, expect it to just work.

A single Starlink dish is the fastest satellite internet ever built. It's also a single point of failure.

02 · The Solution

Speedify bonds Starlink at the packet level.

Speedify bonds multiple Starlink dishes - plus any 4G/5G cellular, shore Wi-Fi, or wired uplinks available - into a single encrypted network at the packet level. Every active session draws from the combined bandwidth of every active link. If one dish loses sight of the constellation, the others absorb the traffic in milliseconds.

  • Multiple Starlink dishes provide independent satellite paths. No two enter handoff at the same moment, so the transition is invisible
  • Cellular adds carrier-diverse redundancy in coastal waters and ports
  • Shore Wi-Fi at the dock contributes free bandwidth without losing satellite resilience
  • Speedify runs encrypted (AES-256-GCM) end-to-end; existing crew, operations, and passenger VLANs remain intact

// what the bridge sees

A connection that doesn't drop.

No reset on the weather feed during a satellite handoff. No timeout on the catch report uploading to shore. No "reconnect" prompt on the crew's video call home when the vessel next door pulls anchor. Just a working link which is, ultimately, the only thing that matters at sea.

03 · Scenarios

Built for every state of the voyage.

Vessels move between connectivity environments constantly: open ocean, fishing grounds, coastal transit, anchorage, port. Speedify rebalances continuously across whichever links are available and best-performing, without intervention from the bridge or ETO.

01 / Underway

Open ocean · No shore connectivity

Multiple Starlink dishes

Bond two or more Starlink subscriptions on a single account into one network. Speedify distributes packets across every active dish simultaneously and reroutes around any that drop. Add dishes as your throughput and resilience requirements scale.

02 / On station

Stationary or slow-moving · Line-of-sight obstructions possible

An adjacent vessel can't take down operations

A vessel pulls alongside in an anchorage, raft-up, or lightering operation and parks between your dish and the constellation. With a single uplink, that's an outage. With bonded dishes, the unobstructed dish carries the load and operations don't notice.

03 / Alongside

In port · Marina · Shore networks available

Use shore bandwidth without losing satellite resilience

Add the port's Wi-Fi, dockside cellular, or any wired connection to the bond. Speedify uses every available link to deliver maximum throughput and reduces metered satellite usage during port calls without a manual switch.

04 / Transitions

Coastal transit · Crossing coverage boundaries · Crew rotation

Coverage shifts continuously without manual reconfiguration

Cellular drops in and out as you cross coverage zones, Starlink degrades and recovers with sea state, shore Wi-Fi appears as you berth. Active sessions stay live across every transition. The captain doesn't need to fail anything over by hand.

04 · Deployment

Two ways to deploy aboard.

Speedify deploys at the vessel network edge for whole-ship coverage, or at the device level for specific high-value workstations. Many vessels run both.

Network level

Run Speedify on a supported bonding router so every device aboard - bridge systems, crew Wi-Fi, passenger or guest networks, IoT sensors, vessel telemetry - benefits without per-device installation. Two paths:

  • Supported OpenWrt routers: With a Speedify for Routers license.
  • Powered by Speedify routers: Speedify is preinstalled and ready to configure.
For larger vessels and fleet operators building integrated networking stacks, the Speedify SDK is available for direct integration with existing marine IT systems.

Device level

Install the Speedify app directly on a captain's bridge laptop, ETO workstation, or any high-priority device. Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Best for: specific high-value workstations, single-cabin trials, or proof-of-concept rollouts ahead of vessel-wide installation.

05 · Telemetry

One view of every link, from the bridge or shoreside.

Speedify integrates directly with Starlink's dish telemetry to surface real-time link health on the Speedify dashboard. Obstruction events, signal degradation, thermal throttling, and hardware faults appear within 15 seconds of detection, typically before anyone aboard notices the dish stutter.

Each dish reports independently, so on a multi-dish vessel the captain or ETO can pinpoint exactly which terminal is degraded.
