Internet
Connected at sea and in port
Satellite with automatic failover to 4G/5G near the coast, plus usage management per user group so the data budget stays predictable.

Maritime & Offshore
TV and internet at sea, within your data budget.
- Connected everywhere
- Always a picture
- One partner
What it gives you
Always connected at sea
Satellite, 4G/5G and shore connection combined, with automatic switching.
Crew stay in touch
Dedicated bandwidth for home contact and streaming, separate from operational systems.
Operational data keeps flowing
Reporting, cameras and control systems get priority on the connection.
Maintenance planned properly
Installation and service scheduled around yard visits and port calls.
Challenges you face
Select a topic for more detail.
Limited and costly satellite bandwidth
The situation
Every gigabyte counts. Streaming per cabin empties the data budget within days.
What RIAN does
Local IPTV on board: received once and distributed without limit. Plus usage management per user group.
How it works for you
Three steps. One point of contact.
- 01
Survey on board
We map antennas, cable routes, equipment and sailing area.
- 02
Installation during port time
Mounting and configuration in port or at the yard, tested before you sail.
- 03
Monitoring and management
We follow the connection from shore and switch to the second path on failure.
Television
Picture within the data budget
Local IPTV on board: received once and distributed without limit to all cabins and mess rooms. Far less data usage than streaming per cabin.

less data usage compared to streaming per cabin
“We are structurally more than 2 TB per month below our old usage.”
Short answer
How do I keep internet and TV on board affordable and reliable?
By combining several connections with automatic failover and letting the TV stream adapt its quality to the available bandwidth. Operational systems and crew get their own capacity, and we monitor usage and connectivity from shore so data costs stay predictable.
In practice
Satellite TV for 85 crew members offshore
Dual tracking dishes, a professional headend and distribution to 85 cabins, monitored from shore while the platform is at sea.
Read this caseWhat the solution includes
Connectivity on board
A combination of technologies that works at sea and in port, switching over automatically.
TV and entertainment
Television on board with a stream that adapts to the available bandwidth, so data use stays in check.
Management and data use
We monitor usage and connectivity remotely and adjust before costs or quality get out of hand.
One point of contact
Signal, hardware, installation and incidents all run through RIAN. One number to call.
Costs consist of a one-off amount for equipment and installation, plus a monthly fee for connectivity, management and support. Data use is a major cost at sea, so we design for the lowest possible usage at good quality.
Preparation
Checklist for your location
What we assess for a suitable proposal.
Preparation
- Type of vessel or platform, number of cabins and crew
- Operating area and which connections are available where
- Existing antennas, satellite equipment and space in the technical room
- Access to the building and any working hours or safety rules
- Existing contracts and notice periods with your current supplier
- Preferred go-live date, or the moment of handover or renovation
Frequently asked questions
How do you keep data costs down?
The stream adapts its quality to the available bandwidth and we divide capacity between operational systems and crew, keeping usage predictable.
Does the crew stay in touch with home?
Yes. Crew get their own bandwidth for contact with home, separate from operational systems.
What if the connection drops?
The system switches automatically to another available connection. We see the incident in our monitoring and pick it up.
How long does installation take?
That depends on the size of the location and what is already in place. After the site visit you receive a schedule with the work and the moments we are on site.
Can we expand later?
Yes. The setup is modular: extra rooms, units, screens or locations can be added without redoing the existing installation.
What lead time should I allow for?
A standard internet package arrives pre-configured in one box. For a full installation the proposal states an installation date, based on the size of the location, the delivery time of the equipment and the availability of the line.
What happens if something fails outside office hours?
Monitoring runs 24/7 and keeps raising alerts in the evening and at weekends too. Which alerts are picked up straight away and which wait until the next working day is agreed per location in the service agreement, so you know in advance what to expect.
What is the contract term and notice period?
We work with clear terms per location; the term and notice period are stated in the proposal before you sign. If a location moves or closes, the package can in most cases move with you instead of being written off.
