Marine communications & Media systems on canals and rivers

We list here suppliers & engineers for mobile communications and TV systems.
Mobile 4G/5G/Broadband covers many urban areas allowing quick mobile Internet access and email reception. USB modems are available from all the major networks allowing laptop access. However signal coverage for canals in rural areas is variable and often slow and poor quality.
VHF radio is required or advised for communications with authorities or other craft on some rivers.

  • Many marinas provide internet access through wifi networks. Often they are password protected and require payment for time limited access through a password. Many pubs, hotels, cafes and restaurants also offer free internet access for customers.
  • Digital TV reception is available provided your boat has a suitable aerial. Portable satellite dishes are becoming common on canal boats. Reception via aerial or satellite dish can be poor when the boat is on the move though, and it can be dangerous to leave equipment erected when moving.
  • We have a separate listing of marine electrical & electronic equipment suppliers & Engineers, also suppliers & installers of solar and wind power systems.
