Speedcast surpasses 10,000 in Starlink kit sales

• More than a third of all Speedcast customers are now using Starlink, either as a primary service or as part of a multipath or dual-LEO solution

Houston, Texas – Speedcast, a leading global communications and network service provider, announced that the company officially surpassed 10,000 in Starlink kit sales as of November 2024. The milestone comes two years after Speedcast became the world’s first authorized integrator of the low latency, low-earth orbit (LEO) service to the enterprise and maritime sectors. Since that time, Speedcast has deployed Starlink for more than a third of its customers across all maritime and enterprise applications, delivering the technology as part of a primary, multipath, or new dual-LEO service across their remote sites.

Since Starlink was introduced to the market, Speedcast has led the way not only in kit sales, but also testing and performance assessments, helping customers use those insights and navigate Starlink’s enterprise offering to accelerate their remote site operations. In October 2024, Starlink announced that the company would be introducing a service level agreement (SLA) in early 2025.

“Starlink’s performance means that it has rapidly become a key component of Speedcast’s expansive connectivity toolkit. Next year, we look forward to the introduction of a 99.9% SLA from Starlink, representing just one of the developments that will further drive sales growth in 2025,” said James Trevelyan, Executive Vice President, Global Sales at Speedcast. “Other boosts to the portfolio include the next major release of our SIGMA Edge Networking software, which will allow the greatest levels of visibility and control ever seen at the remote site.”

Speedcast maintains one of the largest connectivity portfolios in the world, leveraging its SIGMA platform to integrate Starlink with other LEO, GEO and MEO VSAT options, as well as L-band, 4G/LTE, microwave and fiber, depending on customer requirements and operating environment.

The company’s Starlink expertise reaches as far as the Arctic and Antarctic, where Speedcast has added the LEO solution to comprehensive network services for polar exploration vessels, along with connectivity for land and ocean-based research operations. Other notable installations implemented by Speedcast include the world’s first fleet-wide deployment of Starlink in the cruise sector, as well as remote vehicle and railway connectivity for one of the largest mining, construction, and logistics operators in Brazil.

Speedcast maintains a Starlink Assessment series on its YouTube channel to help customers get the most from their Starlink systems. The video series, which includes episodes that have amassed over 100,000 views, cover everything from performance reviews and hardware comparisons to equipment testing on land and at sea.
