neXat has announced the creation of a maritime division, launching a new maritime unit aiming to offer satcom installations on a variety of boats and on-board IT services including radar, Video Graphics Array (VGA), and Digital Visual Interface (DVI) cabling.
Specifically, the new business unit will be led by the former owner of Belgosat, Mario Alen, and will be part of neXat’s operations department, led by founding partner & chief operations officer Caroline De Vos.
“Connectivity at sea is at the point of being a necessity rather than a luxury. That is why we are dedicated to providing customers with the best satellite communications needed to carry out tasks on and offshore,” commented De Vos.
The first year of the new business venture will see the start of the installation process, before expanding at a later stage to maintenance and site survey activities, according to neXat.
