The All-Round Networking Package for Motor & Sailing Yachts
 Â
Modern yachts require a resilient and high-performance connectivity solution that enables smooth streaming, reliable communication, and uninterrupted navigation. In this article, we explore a balanced, near-shore networking solution using a strategic combination of Peplink and Starlink technologies—crafted for small to mid-sized vessels needing robust, flexible coverage.
Core Hardware & Setup
 
2x Peplink Maritime 20G Antennas dramatically enhance signal reception, offering stable internet even in weak coverage zones.
 
Peplink BR1 5G Pro sits at the heart of the package—engineered for marine-grade performance. It delivers dependable cellular connectivity with dual SIM slots, GPS, and enterprise-grade security.
 
Peplink AP One AX Wireless Access Point provides wide onboard Wi-Fi coverage, so users can enjoy connectivity throughout cabins, saloons, and decks.
       
Starlink Roam: Ground-breaking Satellite Internet
Starlink Roam is a satellite-based solution designed to provide reliable internet access in areas where traditional cellular networks may be unavailable or weak. It is an ideal choice for boaters who require constant connectivity for safety, communication, and navigation purposes. When integrated with the Peplink BR1 5G Pro and Peplink AP One AX Wireless AP, the combined system offers powerful and seamless Wi-Fi coverage throughout the vessel. This allows passengers and crew members to stay connected to the internet, regardless of their location or proximity to cellular networks. The addition of Starlink Roam to the Peplink networking solution ensures uninterrupted access to vital information, entertainment, and communication, enhancing the overall marine experience and providing an essential backup option when other networks fail. Bonding it all together with Speedfusion hosted by yourself, Peplink or GMTS.

Flexible Cellular Connectivity with included SIM Card
The SIM card provided with this package operates on a month-to-month contract, offering users the flexibility to pay for only what they need and cancel or restart the plan as necessary. This cost-effective approach makes it a practical choice for boat owners who require varying levels of connectivity throughout the year.

Seamless Satellite & Cellular Bonding
The game-changer is SpeedFusion, Peplink’s bandwidth bonding technology. It merges multiple connections (like Starlink and 5G) into one reliable, uninterrupted link. This eliminates call drops, stream stutters, and connection blackouts.
Through InControl2, SpeedFusion can be managed easily—even remotely by GMTS. We also provide full remote support, so configuration or troubleshooting can be handled without requiring onboard access.
Summary
The combined solution of the Peplink BR1 5G Pro, Maritime 20G antennas, AP One AX, Starlink Roam, and flexible SIM data creates a complete, powerful, and scalable onboard network. Whether you’re cruising coastal waters or anchoring remotely, this setup ensures seamless communication, entertainment, and peace of mind—all bonded together by SpeedFusion and supported by GMTS.
