Satellite Network Management for Multi-Orbit and Hybrid Networks
Satellite network management in Speedcast SIGMA brings GEO, MEO and LEO satellite, cellular and terrestrial links under one cloud-native platform. Operations teams see every link, device and application at a vessel, rig or remote site from a single console, while patented SIGMA Blended AI selects the best network path based on real-time conditions.
How SIGMA Manages Every Link
Each SIGMA device works as a multi-WAN router at the site, administering multiple WAN links alongside cybersecurity and VPN between the vessel and shore or the remote site and headquarters. Enterprise-grade SD-WAN converges GEO, MEO and LEO satellite, fiber, microwave and cellular into a single, high-performance WAN, and a customizable dashboard prioritizes data usage for critical applications over other remote site requirements.

Where Satellite Network Management Matters
SIGMA runs across maritime, energy, enterprise, rail, commercial real estate and disaster response operations. Recent customers include TGS, which selected Speedcast to power its fleet’s digital operations with all-LEO satellite connectivity, and COSL Drilling, whose hybrid solution integrates Starlink’s global high throughput service.
Managed by Speedcast
For a fully managed service, Speedcast delivers network management services across VSAT, LEO, cellular and terrestrial networks, with Compass for monitoring and support cases.
Satellite network management is the monitoring, control and optimization of satellite links alongside the other networks a remote site uses. Speedcast SIGMA manages GEO, MEO and LEO satellite, cellular, fiber and microwave connections as one network, prioritizing traffic for critical applications and switching paths automatically when conditions change.
A network management system (NMS) is network management software that monitors, configures and controls network links and devices from a central point. SIGMA is a cloud-native satellite network management system built for remote operations: it manages multiple WAN links, SD-WAN routing, cybersecurity and VPN from vessel
to shore, and deploys applications to the same devices.
Patented SIGMA Blended AI evaluates real-time conditions on each available link, such as LEO, GEO, cellular or fiber, and routes traffic over the most reliable, cost-effective path. Critical applications can be prioritized over other traffic, and automated notifications help teams stay within data limits without sacrificing performance.
Yes. Every SIGMA device administers multiple WAN links at the site, from Starlink and OneWeb to VSAT, cellular and fiber, with cybersecurity and VPN between the vessel and shore or the remote site and headquarters. Options range from SIGMA Eon for lightweight IoT sites to server-class SIGMA Elite for advanced virtualized environments.
