maritime connectivity

Maritime connectivity refers to the networking solutions that enable ships, offshore platforms, and other remote marine assets to access cloud services and enterprise applications reliably. Recent discussions highlight Marlink's integration of Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute into its managed maritime network, allowing vessels to treat Azure and Microsoft 365 as extensions of their private networks via dedicated, non-Internet links. This approach combines private connectivity with multi-orbit satellite orchestration to achieve more predictable latency, lower packet loss, and enhanced security. The tag covers topics such as satellite hybrid networking, private cloud access at sea, and enterprise IT for maritime operations.
