Viasat wants to connect everyone and everything with a game-changing connected experience. We’ve been working with the world’s biggest airlines and fastest business jets, and have supplied Government maritime customers for many years. We’re now launching our technology and culture of innovation into the private maritime world: super yachts, mid-sized yachts, cruise ships, river and ocean vessels, and energy. We’ve partnered with Cobham to offer a hardware and service bundle that’s already the fastest thing at sea, featuring no speed limits, no data limits, and a fixed monthly price. And we’re only getting started.
Your registration will give you access to the live webinar on October 20 and on-demand following the event to view any time that suits you.
Meet us at FLIBS 2020 in Fort Lauderdale, FL, from October 28 - November 1, to see our Viasat/Cobham bundle and for a demo of our service on a yacht.
This webinar originally aired on October 20, 2020.
