We recently wrote about private networks at sea and how, as a maritime operator, Telecom26 is now building out mobile private networks at sea for a number of customers as part of our Cellular At Sea service which uses nearshore connectivity when a vessel is hugging the coast.

A recent article in Marine Insight - which provides maritime news and analysis - caught the eyes of our maritime connectivity team.

In this earlier blog IoT SIMs, eSIMs, iSIMs - Telecom26’s team of IoT experts explore the differences, we discussed the emergence of integrated SIMs (iSIMs) which, according to IoT magazine, “moves the SIM from a separate chip into a dedicated silicon area which sits alongside the application processor and/or cellular radio”. 

Telecom26 has been providing IoT connectivity to SystemOne’s digital healthcare programmes across both Africa and Asia for several years. Most recently the contract has been extended to SystemOne’s projects in Angola, Bangladesh and Nigeria.

We recently wrote about some of the security issues surrounding Private Networks and this week we’re going to return to Private Networks At Sea which we previously discussed: Mobile Private Networks for Cruise Ships and the Merchant Navy.

This week Telecom26 is celebrating its 10^th birthday - and boy has time sped by. During that time, we have built and cemented our position as one of the most innovative, reliable and cost-effective providers of maritime connectivity, IoT services and private networks at sea. We are a global full mobile non-terrestrial operator and a member of both the GSMA, and full member of ITU.
