In the last twenty years, wireless electronic communication of mobile users has developed rapidly, especially after the introduction of satellite connections. Mobile wireless telecommunication is becoming the basis of modern maritime activity, which modestly determines the remote control of the ship. Maritime communications are significantly improved by the introduction of the latest technologies such as the Internet, satellites, etc. The duality of the development of both terrestrial and satellite radio links brings new possibilities, but also alternatives. Despite the advantages of these new technologies, which contribute to a significantly higher degree of automation, it is certain that the human factor still remains crucial. Wireless networks can provide network access to phones, computers, applications, databases in the final Internet and on ships that are in remote locations, giving users the opportunity to acquire, copy and manage data virtually from any location. With the quality handling of operators, navigation safety should increase significantly, and a quality exchange of information will improve the maritime economy as a whole. In the first part, the author describes basic maritime telecommunications and how they affect the safety of navigation and members of the ship's navigation during a particular maritime venture. The second part of the final paper describes the possible wider application in the maritime sector and the consideration of possible innovations.
