STARLINK and Search and Rescue – Faster Response Times for Those in Need

At SEANAV, we are transforming the speed and reliability of maritime search and rescue (SAR) operations using the power of STARLINK satellite connectivity. Traditional satellite communication systems often suffer from latency and coverage gaps. STARLINK, however, offers a revolutionary leap in real-time global coverage with ultra-low latency. This is a game-changer in urgent maritime operations.

In maritime emergencies, every second counts. Delays in communication can result in devastating consequences. With STARLINK, SEANAV enhances rapid communication between distressed vessels and rescue centers. This significantly reduces response time and improves mission success rates.

How STARLINK is Enhancing SAR Operations

  • Low-latency, high-speed connectivity across oceans
  • Uninterrupted link with rescue coordination centers
  • Real-time video, voice, and data transmission during rescue
  • Enhanced GPS tracking for accurate positioning
  • Improved coordination with multiple SAR assets

SEANAV integrates STARLINK terminals aboard vessels to maintain uninterrupted data and voice communication in even the most remote maritime zones. In combination with modern radar, AIS, and distress alert systems, STARLINK adds a vital communication layer that speeds up detection and rescue.
