AST Networks has introduced a "Try Before You Buy" promotion offering maritime customers a two-month, unlimited free trial of high-speed, low-latency LEO connectivity from OneWeb.

AST Networks Founder and Chairman Gregory Darling emphasized that the trial enables customers to experience connectivity demands firsthand, considering factors such as crew size, operational activity, and onboard applications. At the end of the trial, customers can choose to return the antenna and discontinue the service, purchase the antenna and switch to a suitable OneWeb plan, or commit to a 12-month unlimited connectivity plan with the antenna free of charge.

Darling highlighted that the promotion aligns with AST Networks' mission to provide flexible and affordable connectivity solutions tailored to individual vessel requirements. The promotion runs until December 31, 2026, subject to promotional terms and conditions.
