Building on ELCOME’s existing fleet connectivity footprint across more than 5,000 vessels, the addition of Amazon Leo Pro and Leo Ultra terminals will provide operators with an independent low Earth orbit connectivity path that improves availability and network diversity at sea. Customers will see increased resilience, optimized application performance, and accelerated modern digital operations onboard and between ship and shore.
Powered by a constellation of thousands of satellites in low Earth orbit, Amazon Leo is designed to provide lower latency and higher transmission capacity than traditional geostationary satellite solutions, enabling real-time applications, telemetry, remote operations, and hybrid network architectures.
“This agreement advances our mission to deliver global, scalable, and future-ready connectivity to the maritime industry,” said Jimmy Grewal, Managing Director of ELCOME. “Amazon Leo technology will help transform how vessels communicate, operate, and integrate with their shoreside networks.”
“Through this agreement with Amazon Leo, ELCOME will provide the connectivity that modern maritime operations demand. Customers on the open seas will have the ability to power critical technology, using our antennas designed to operate seamlessly in challenging maritime environments,” said Trevor Vieweg, Head of Global Business, Amazon Leo.
Maritime operators will benefit from ELCOME’s global engineering footprint, 24/7 support operations, and long experience deploying satellite communication systems for fleets of all sizes.
