Watch videos in 4K onboard

Meridian 4G provides superyacht-specific proprietary technology allowing to achieve an ultra-fast, reliable and secure internet onboard superyachts, up to 40km offshore.

The technology is used by more than 150 superyachts including such notable yachts as Eclipse, Pelorus, A, Amore Vero, Radiant, Nirvana, Musachi and many more.

AVERAGE SPEED: 160 Mbit/s down, 40/up.

COVERAGE OFFSHORE: up to 40km (25 nautical miles).

COUNTRY-SPECIFIC CONTENT: Using a counterpart in Data Centre we are able to provide a dedicated, static, country-specific IP address (usually required to stream movies, host an email server etc).

“You can stream several movies in parallel without interruption, even in 4K! Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Apple TV, Kartina, SkyGo, Youtube etc”

SUPERYACHT-SPECIFIC: Built to accommodate continuously changing mobile networks, roaming and changing distance from cellular towers).

SECURED CONNECTION: The connection is encrypted, broken down into thousands of packets and sent in random combinations via 4 different sim cards, making it impossible to monitor.

COMPLETE SERVICE: Yacht-specific support including SIM cards with unlimited data package, data center resources and full solution support 24/7.

“Full HD streams on Apple TV play with zero buffer time. Jetstream plays faultlessly at its highest bitrate (something I have never seen on any other connection). Youtube/Vimeo streams load and play instantly. Even when playing in 4K! The time between hitting enter and a webpage loading is milliseconds as opposed to the normal delay of 3-4 seconds when using VSAT.”

2019: We subscribed to Meridian’s service following advice of our Chief Engineer who had Meridian’s service onboard his former boat. Quick installation in the middle of the season. We got about 20 miles offshore with our system. Game-changing speed and responsiveness, pages load instantly, guests are super happy! Highly recommend to anyone, support is truly exceptional.

2019: Motor Yacht Joy is a busy dual season commercial charter yacht. She is 70m LOA, 1095gt and launched at Feadship RVL in June 2016.

Joy has a Meridian 4G aggregator device aboard, with world-wide LTE/4G/3G coverage. Meridian 4G also provide support, firmware and data centre resources.

We are very happy indeed with the data speed and connectivity of the system. We have found it very reliable for guest internet provision on particular. System support from Meridian 4G is very fast and effective. Julian himself often taking the lead in answering questions and offering help.

I am very happy to recommend the company and service to potential clients and confirm that we rely on the system and use far less V-SAT data because of it.

2019: We did an extensive research and tried other 4G systems before we found Meridian 4G. The technology exceeded our expectations, performance is solid and stable. Most importantly, when you buy the Meridian you know that you have got your back covered all the time. Julian is not only the founder & CTO but he makes sure that each and every customer is taken proper care of. I highly recommend their product and service.

2019: Julian is a rare find in yachting when it comes to technical expertise, and we can’t recommend his technology enough. He makes 4G work onboard superyachts, and it is not only about the device. He helped us ensure that all parts that matter work together – from antennas being in the right places without blockage to ensuring that our overall IT setup is tuned up for optimal performance.
