Pulsar Signs Amazon Leo Maritime Internet Deal, Offering Up to 1 Gbps at Sea

3 articles · Updated · Media OutReach · Jun 25

Summary

  • Pulsar said it will resell Amazon Leo’s low-Earth-orbit satellite service to commercial maritime customers, targeting vessel communications, onboard operations and crew welfare in remote waters.
  • Leo Ultra terminals can deliver up to 1 Gbps download and 400 Mbps upload speeds, giving ships lower-latency, higher-bandwidth links than traditional satellite systems for real-time and remote applications.
  • Hong Kong-based APAC support is central to the pitch: Pulsar said it is the first authorized Amazon Leo reseller with an office in Hong Kong, allowing regional customer service for maritime operators.
  • The partnership also ties Leo connectivity to AWS infrastructure and Pulsar’s cyber-security and digital-solutions portfolio, as fleet managers push toward connected ships and eventually fully remote operations.
