🥵 The very hot Mediterranean summer is coming to an end, and thoughts are turning to the refit season. If you need any help with connectivity, navcomm, or IT issues let us know.

Amazon Leo, formerly Project Kuiper, is coming for Starlink's grip on superyacht connectivity. What the competition means for owners, captains and crew.

More great feedback from a happy client. We understand the intense pressure on crew during a busy summer season so didn't hesitate to respond quickly to an urgent request which came in last Saturday night.

“A huge thanks to e3 systems for sourcing, installing and commissioning a new core network switch over a weekend. On Saturday night, just before the boss steps on board, our core switch fails leaving the vessel without Wi-Fi. E3 supplied a new Cisco switch, dispatched an engineer and had the network up and running by lunchtime on Monday morning, despite the yacht being on anchor in Ibiza”.

We aim to please 🙂

A Cationary Tale 🐱

Are your VSAT/TVRO domes redundant?

We have certainly been busy removing them, with their afterlife mainly consisting of being repurposed as the planet’s most expensive cat-feeding stations up at the local SOS Animal sanctuary.

e3’s engineers can safely manage the removal process from start to finish. We will:
✅ Carry out a survey prior to removal
✅ Decommission the domes and below deck equipment
✅ Decommission cables and clean up rack areas
✅ Remove all obsolete VSAT equipment
✅ Responsibly dispose of domes and associated equipment

Let us know if we can assist in removing domes – the cats will be very grateful. 😻
