Maritime connectivity is evolving rapidly. The growing demand for onboard digital services IPTV, cloud applications, video surveillance, crew communications, and industrial IoT now requires robust, flexible, and highly available network infrastructures.
Traditional single-technology solutions are no longer sufficient. They often suffer from unstable coverage, high operational costs, limited redundancy, and complex management.
In response to these challenges, Peplink delivers a next-generation, multi-link connectivity architecture, specifically designed for professional maritime projects led by system integrators.
Key Challenges in Maritime Connectivity
System integrators operating in maritime environments face several critical challenges:
-
Unstable connectivity at sea and in port areas
-
Service interruptions caused by environmental conditions and vessel movement
-
Limited redundancy in traditional satellite or cellular solutions
-
Rapidly increasing bandwidth requirements onboard
-
Complex management of multiple connectivity technologies
These constraints demand an intelligent, resilient, and centrally managed network architecture.
The Peplink Approach: A Unified Multi-Link Architecture
Peplink enables the simultaneous combination of multiple connectivity technologies within a single, unified platform:
-
Long-range 5G / LTE
-
Port and marina Wi-Fi
-
VSAT satellite connectivity
-
Terrestrial and offshore networks
All links are orchestrated through Peplink’s proprietary SpeedFusion technology, delivering seamless and resilient connectivity across all environments.
SpeedFusion: Resilience, Performance, and Continuity at Sea
SpeedFusion intelligently manages WAN links to ensure maximum network stability and performance:
-
Simultaneous aggregation of multiple WAN links
-
Seamless, packet-level failover with no noticeable interruption
-
Intelligent link prioritization to optimize operational costs
-
Encrypted tunnels for secure data transport
-
Continuous service at sea and in port
For integrators, SpeedFusion significantly simplifies the deployment of high-availability maritime networks, even in the most demanding conditions.
Typical Peplink Maritime Architecture
A Peplink maritime deployment is built on modular, field-proven components:
-
Core router: SDX Pro, HD4 MBX 5G, or BR2 Pro
-
Long-range maritime antennas: Dome Pro LR, Maritime 40G
-
Multi-SIM management: FlexModule SIM Injector (up to 8 SIM cards)
-
Onboard Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 6 access points
-
Cloud-based monitoring: InControl 2
This architecture allows integrators to design custom, scalable solutions tailored to the operational needs of each vessel.
