Superyacht and boutique cruise ship broadband connectivity services and solutions provider, OmniAccess, has become part of the Marlink Group, folowing the closing of the transaction first announced last year.

The 2002 founded, Majorca-based company will continue to operate under the OmniAccess brand and will lead Marlink’s superyacht and boutique cruise segment going forward.

The completion of the OmniAccess transaction follows the recent acquisition of LiveWire Connections in December, 2017 and the combination will extend Marlink Group’s existing maritime offering to the superyacht and boutique cruise segment.

As the leading maritime VSAT company, the new combined Marlink Group generates close to $500 mill revenues, employs 1,000 people and manages over 5,000 VSAT vessels under contract.

Both OmniAccess and Livewire Connections contribute to Marlink’s commitment to meeting the significant demand for broadband satellite services and on board IT solutions in the superyacht and small cruise ship sector, driven by high-end applications including streaming television, social media and fast web browsing.

With a staff of over 70 specialists, OmniAccess operates a global proprietary VSAT network with more than 24 satellite-beams in both C- and Ku-band, uplinked from six Teleport locations in Spain, Germany, Hawaii, Australia and the US. OmniAccess provides patented BroadBeam VSAT solutions for Internet connectivity at sea with ultra-high speeds of up to 300 mbps, augmented by the iO 4G & WiMax terrestrial connectivity services.
The portfolio is further enhanced by the extensive suite of Plexus integrated maritime IT networks and IPTV solutions.
