The newly granted U.S. patent (No. US 12,586,895 B2) covers a hardware innovation for antenna mounting within a dome-shaped radome, enabling robust, stable, and precise tracking performance in demanding maritime environments .
This milestone strengthens Nowhere Networks’ intellectual property portfolio across key markets, following earlier filings in Sweden and Europe.
“As we continue to expand globally, securing this U.S. patent is a key milestone for Nowhere Networks,” says Asbjörn Frydenlund, CEO of Nowhere Networks.
“It protects a core part of our technology and enables us to bring our full connectivity offering into the U.S. market with confidence.”
A Gateway to the U.S. Market
The U.S. patent represents more than legal protection. It is a gateway to scaling Nowhere Networks’ presence in one of the world’s most important maritime markets. By securing protection for its core antenna hardware, the company can accelerate deployment of its connectivity solutions across North America, supporting ferry operators, cruise lines, and maritime enterprises seeking high-performance, cost-efficient alternatives to traditional satellite-based systems.
From Hardware Innovation to Customer Value
The patented technology improves the durability and performance of Nowhere Networks’ antennas: a key component for stable, high-capacity connectivity between ship and shore.
Combined with the company’s approach to connectivity, this creates a clearly differentiated solution: a proprietary land-based network integrated with technologies like LEO and LTE, supported by smart onboard systems that optimize performance in real time.
This “third layer”, the company’s own network, enables lower latency and lower cost compared to satellite-only solutions, while maintaining high reliability.
For customers, this translates into more stable and higher-quality connectivity, lower operating costs, greater control over network performance, and a scalable, future-proof solution.
“For our customers, this is about better performance at a lower cost, with full control over their connectivity,” says Frydenlund.
“We combine technologies in a way that creates a smarter and more efficient solution at sea.”
Patent Scope and Implementation
The patent covers the mechanical mounting of the antenna system. It does not include software, but plays a critical role in ensuring overall performance and reliability.
Nowhere Networks will mark its antenna systems with the patent and publish full details on its website.
