Why upgrade to NaaS?
Over the years, many offshore operators have installed WiFi systems that are now outdated and no longer fit for purpose. In the past, slow connectivity speeds masked these shortcomings — poor WiFi performance wasn’t as noticeable because the connection was already limited. We wrote an article which goes into detail about the difficulties of providing WiFi offshore which you can read here: Why More Power Isn’t the Solution: Understanding WiFi Challenges Offshore.
However, with the introduction of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite connectivity, offshore sites can now access far faster and more reliable internet connections. As a result, many existing WiFi networks are revealing their limitations — the weak point is no longer the satellite link, but the ageing onboard WiFi infrastructure.
