Start with where the vessel sails.
Review operating routes, terminal placement, power and airtime options. OneWeb and Starlink are considered against the actual requirement, coverage and provider terms.

Explore the system
A connection is only the beginning.
The right satellite link needs a well-planned network behind it. We look at the whole path: coverage, onboard distribution, access and the people who will keep it running.
Give the connection a clear structure.
Bring the link into a router and a documented LAN. Separate operational equipment, crew access and CCTV where appropriate, and agree how capacity is shared.
Routing / VLAN / Wi-FiMake daily operation understandable.
Define access, record the setup and provide a useful handover. Fault reports should include what changed, which equipment is affected and when the issue started.

Planning examples, adapted to the actual equipment and scope.
Crew connectivity
Shared Internet, clearer boundaries.
Plan Wi-Fi areas, user access and capacity allocation around the number of people on board. Keep operational traffic in a separately defined network where the equipment supports it.

Vessel operations
Connect the working parts.
Review how office systems, communications and remote assistance use the connection. Establish who can access equipment and how a failed configuration can be recovered.
A useful outcome
Get in touch ↗A clear network map and recovery path.
Upgrade & retrofit
Work with what is already there.
Begin with the existing terminal, router, cabling and power. Identify reusable equipment, necessary changes and the installation window before buying replacements.
A useful outcome
Get in touch ↗An agreed equipment list and installation scope.

FAQ
A few useful answers
Can you help choose between OneWeb and Starlink?
We can help compare options around routes, applications, hardware and provider terms. Availability and the commercial arrangement must be confirmed for the particular vessel.
Do you provide official GMDSS surveys or certifications?
Specialist surveys and certification are arranged with appropriately authorized providers. Duncan System does not present itself as a certifying authority.
Can we keep our existing network equipment?
That is part of the initial review. A model list, a simple network sketch and photos of the installation help identify what can be retained or needs changing.
How is a quotation prepared?
We first clarify vessel details, the required work and port timing. Equipment, airtime, attendance and ongoing support are scoped explicitly for the job.
Is Amazon Leo available through Duncan System now?
It is a future option we are following. Regional availability, suitable hardware and provider arrangements need to be established before a project can be offered.
