Eutelsat has mentioned that it is providing OneWeb low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications connectivity for the Indian Navy’s Project Kaundinya voyage.

Project Kaundinya is being undertaken aboard INSV Kaundinya, a traditionally built stitched-plank sailing vessel inspired by ancient Indian shipbuilding techniques.

As part of the initiative, OneWeb’s LEO satellite connectivity has been deployed and is operational onboard the vessel, enabling reliable, real-time communication throughout the journey. Given the vessel’s traditional design and the lack of conventional communication infrastructure, OneWeb’s LEO technology is serving as the sole connectivity link for the expedition.
