Stay connected 5G at sea with NeptuLink by MVG!
NeptuLink by MVG brings to your ship 5G high-speed internet access up to 1 Gbit/s, with ship-to-shore communication in a radius of approximately 20 nautical miles.
With its rugged mechanical design, NeptuLink is made for the maritime environment. Developed with an international and recognized telecommunication laboratory, it takes into account the specific characteristics of radio wave propagation above the sea, as well as the effects of pitching and rolling motions on board.
Specifically designed with the maritime environment in mind, the new version of NeptuLink by MVG is suitable for all vessel types. With reinforced mechanics, it is tailored to withstand harsh marine conditions: high winds, corrosive elements, the swells and lulls of the ocean. SIM and eSIM cards reduce the roaming costs while NeptuLink’s two antenna transmitter-receivers deliver optimised Internet long after a mobile phone or tablet reports service loss.

Customer testimonials
Barges
The Borinken Marine Group (BMG), a family-owned and operated tug and barge service provider in Puerto Rico uses NeptuLink to maintain communications and operations with their fleet, while providing added benefits for their crew.
Sailboats
John and Boni Wagner-Stafford left Canada 3 years ago. Since 2015, they have been living on Ingenium, their 40-foot cruising sailboat.
As they aimed to establish a new life onboard while travelling by sea, John and Boni needed a good Internet connection in order to continue doing business no matter where they would be sailing.
Tugs
The Abeille Bourbon is an emblematic vessel.
Providing assistance, salvage and pollution remediation, this tug (abbreviated RIAS in French) from the BOURBON group is chartered by the French Navy and remains on call 365-days a year with two, 12-strong merchant navy crews that work alternate months. The vessel carries out emergency missions along the Atlantic Coast, particularly in the Ushant shipping lane, a maritime motorway that has approximately 120 ships passing through it every day.
Races
La Solitaire Bompard Le Figaro

For its 47th edition in July 2016, La Solitaire Bompard Le Figaro asked MVG to become one of its official partners. Take a look at our customer testimonial to find out how NeptuLink helps the race organisers to benefit the 4G connectivity and make their first Live race broadcasting a success?
