6connected

6connected was a company that provided secure, high-speed satellite internet services. Founded in 2005, the company aimed to deliver reliable connectivity to areas underserved by terrestrial networks, including remote locations, maritime vessels, and aviation. Their services were designed to support a range of applications, from basic internet access to more demanding data transmission needs for businesses and government agencies.

The company utilized a network of satellites and ground infrastructure to offer its services. 6connected focused on providing a resilient and robust internet solution, often emphasizing its ability to operate in challenging environments where traditional internet infrastructure was not feasible or was prone to disruption. They offered various service tiers and customizable solutions to meet the specific requirements of their diverse clientele.

In 2015, 6connected was acquired by Inmarsat, a global mobile satellite communications company.

The integration aimed to leverage both companies' strengths in the satellite internet market.
