Blue Sky Network’s SkyLink Citadel now available

March 28, 2023

Blue Sky Network has announced that the firm’s SkyLink Citadel, a resilient anti-piracy solution for maritime, is now available for purchase.

Leveraging the power of the Iridium Certus® 100 satellite network, the SkyLink Citadel offers two High-Definition (HD) voice lines and the ability to send and receive messages, files, and emails via onboard computers. Easy to install and operate, the SkyLink Citadel provides voice and data connectivity to the outside world when needed most.

The ruggedized outdoor unit contains a SkyLink device and an antenna that connects to a single-purpose-built cable and runs to a discreet lockable cabinet in the safe room. The cabinet houses a dedicated handset, SOS switch, and Ethernet connection point.

The SkyLink Citadel is the latest addition to Blue Sky Network’s SkyLink suite of solutions. The 3x award-winning SkyLink device delivers enterprise-grade voice, remote monitoring, and data connection via global, high-speed, satellite connectivity.

We are pleased to announce that our SkyLink Citadel is now available for purchase. This solution represents a massive shift in maritime connectivity and establishes a new standard for anti-piracy solutions,” said . “The high-quality, low latency, voice capability makes for far superior clarity, and provides a communications experience users have come to expect from a cellular phone call. The increased data speeds off the ship, SOS button, plus battery back-up, are essential for emergency situations.”

Tucker Morrison, CEO of Blue Sky Network

SkyLink by Blue Sky Network is the inaugural Iridium Certus 100 mid-band solution for land-mobile, aviation, IoT, and maritime markets. This small-form, multi-stack hardware is designed for any fixed-mount, portable, or mobile application and offers a range of service configurations.
