![]() To date, autonomous shipping appears to primarily have been about a technology push rather than considering and providing sociotechnical solutions including re-design of work, capturing knowledge and addressing human factors in modern shipping. ![]() However, it may be in their best interest to raise awareness among prospective clients in non-traditionally connected industries. This risk is not the responsibility of the Internet providers, who in this case are the companies building these expansive constellations. These will be contrasted to the much better-prepared networks, such as stock exchanges, that have been spoken of by providers as being an ideal use case. There are a range of industries, or at least sections within industries, that are ideally suited to utilise these new platforms that formerly did not need to be concerned about cyber-attacks, and as such do not have a strong security design culture. However, the satellite constellations will enable them to have fast, high-bandwidth connections nearly anywhere on the globe. The industry has not formerly been at great risk from cyber-attack due to geographic isolation and limited connectivity to the systems. This will be explored within the context of the maritime and offshore industries as a case study, since they currently make use of the existing limited satellite connections for non-mission critical tasks but are looking to transition to shore-based control and increased automation of shipboard systems. The industries we suggest are most at risk are those which are geographically dispersed unable to currently attain reliable and fast Internet access and have existing legacy software systems with poor security. This paper will discuss what it suggests is a likely increase in cyber-attacks on ill-prepared industries due to the rapid adoption of highspeed Internet delivered through these proposed constellations. These platforms will be transformative in their impact on global access to the Internet, with many unforeseeable positive and negative outcomes. These offerings promise global access, with low latency and high bandwidth. This bandwidth is a fraction of the 100s Mbit/s and Gbit/s speeds within the proposed constellations of OneWeb and Starlink, each containing hundreds, and up to thousands, of satellites. The recently completed Iridium Next constellation is comprised of 66 satellites in low-earth orbit (LEO) and provides a maximum speed of 1.4Mbit/s bandwidth. The existing satellite-delivered Internet access from providers is operated from geostationary orbit resulting in high latency connections, with limited bandwidth. ![]() Upgrade number of users / upgrade to Pro / Pro XLĬolor profile creation from EUR 19,95 (approx.The deployment of the Starlink, OneWeb, LeoSat and Project Kuiper satellite constellations will have a transformative impact on the availability of the internet globally.
