Eutelsat's OneWeb low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network provided critical high-speed internet connectivity for the Indian Navy's Project Kaundinya, a maritime voyage tracing historic trade routes from Porbandar, India, to Muscat, Oman. The traditional sailing vessel, lacking conventional communication systems, relied solely on OneWeb's satellite technology for real-time communication, crew welfare, and operational coordination. This use of Europe's commercial satellite service follows similar support provided to the Indian Army, highlighting India's reliance on foreign satellite constellations for military communications.
