OneWeb Technical Paper: Sustainability in Shipping

PDI’s distribution agreement with OneWeb ensures that customers in the Arctic will have access to OneWeb services as early as Q4 2020.

Alaska’s unique qualities mean that it is a center for economic growth, and OneWeb’s global network will be a key enabler of regional initiatives such as the collection of climate data, and the growth of a digital economy.
