iNet CEO Reflects on Impactful 2025, Looks Ahead to 2026

Reflecting on 2025 – Embracing Transformation, Delivering Impact

2025 was a landmark year for iNet. Our journey was defined by bold expansion, breakthrough innovation, and a steadfast commitment to empowering our customers in the world’s most challenging environments. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our customers, partners, employees, and investors – your trust and collaboration have fueled our progress and inspired our ambition.

Navigating Disruption, Leading with Purpose
The remote communications industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace, shaped by rapid technological advances and new, well-funded entrants. At iNet, we see this disruption as opportunity. Our focus on advanced field connectivity solutions and a growing portfolio of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications positions us to enable our customers to boost productivity, efficiency, and safety—no matter how remote or complex their operations. With iNet, customers know they are supported by the industry’s most reliable, robust, and secure solutions.

2025 Milestones – Expanding Horizons, Elevating Solutions
This year has been a major step forward for iNet as we expanded global operations, entered new markets, and launched innovative products.

Global Expansion
This year, we took decisive steps to extend our reach. Through direct entry and strategic partnerships, iNet now operates in four regions, both onshore and offshore: United States/Canada, Latin America, Europe/Middle East/Africa, and Asia Pacific. We even added a new continent to our operations – Antarctica – demonstrating our commitment to serving customers wherever their work takes them.

Supporting New Verticals
Building on our legacy in the demanding upstream and midstream oil and gas sector, we have successfully expanded our capabilities to support several new verticals, including renewable energy, mining, utilities, maritime, retail and distribution. This diversification strengthens our resilience and broadens the impact of our array of innovative technology solutions.

Advanced Connectivity Innovation
Our team delivered a series of industry-firsts:
• UniSIM: A single SIM card that connects to multiple wireless carrier networks – including our Private LTE – ensuring maximum availability for our customers
• LEOConnect™: Our proprietary multi-WAN solution, combining LEO satellite networks for unmatched reliability, bandwidth, and low latency
• iNPath SD-WAN: Next-generation intelligent routing across hybrid networks, delivering secure, efficient, and scalable connectivity
• Data Pool Plans: Flexible, scalable plans that minimize overages and optimize costs for fleet-wide deployments

Up-The-Stack Solutions
We advanced our vision of a complete digital infrastructure platform for field operations:
• Crew Hotspot: Secure, managed WiFi access for field personnel, enhancing safety and productivity at remote sites
• iNView CCTV: Intelligent visual monitoring powered by a form of AI called computer vision, improving safety, productivity, and environmental oversight
We set in motion a strategy to further enhance our offerings with IIoT solutions, intelligent edge capabilities, and AI-native applications—delivering actionable insights on top of our communications backbone

Industry Leadership & Recognition
Our efforts were recognized this year with the prestigious WESCA – World Energy Supply Chain Award for Services, Solutions & Scale-Up. The WESCAs recognize outstanding leadership, innovation, and delivery across the global energy supply chain. This honor validates our ability to deliver scalable growth and customer success through innovative remote connectivity solutions.

Looking Ahead – Our Vision for 2026

As we move into 2026, our roadmap is clear: accelerate international expansion, deepen our presence in critical infrastructure industries, and deliver tightly integrated, AI-powered solutions that drive operational excellence. We will also invest heavily in customer success and field service capabilities, ensuring exceptional support in even the most remote environments.

Our vision is to become the industry’s most complete digital infrastructure platform for field operations – connectivity + data + applications – delivered at global scale.

Thank You
To our employees worldwide – thank you for your dedication and passion. To our customers – thank you for entrusting us with your mission-critical operations. Together, we have achieved remarkable progress. As we look to the future, we are excited to continue elevating what is possible for remote operations everywhere, and redefining the boundaries of what can be achieved.

Here’s to another year of innovation, growth, and shared success.
