Immarsat verifies 340 Mbps NexusWave download speeds

Inmarsat Maritime has verified its fully managed bonded connectivity service, NexusWave, achieved maximum download speeds of 330-340 megabits per second, with maximum upload speeds of 70-80 Mbps, in real world tests. The trials demonstrated average download and upload speeds of 120-150 Mbps and 20-45 Mbps respectively, with network availability on board NexusWave vessels over 99.99%. The company said, “Unlike the load balancing which hybrid connectivity solutions typically use to deliver bandwidth via the best available underlay network, Inmarsat Maritime’s NexusWave combines multiple underlays in one bonded connection. The solution allows applications to leverage the aggregate capacity of all available networks rather than relying on one network at a time. In addition to unparalleled speeds, the unique network-bonding approach provides superior reliability and redundancy. For instance, in real-life testing, the quality of a video conference remains virtually unaffected by the availability or quality of a single network underlay. Leveraging bonding technology, NexusWave dynamically adjusts traffic routing to maintain a seamless and uninterrupted experience.”
