How Paradise Modems Helped in a Shipping Application
■A customer contacted us last year wanting help with an interesting business problem. They are involved with maritime shipping, including oil and commercial cargo. They needed communication between vessels, and also between vessels and land-based facilities. This included information about their location, details about their manifests, schedules for loading and offloading, as well as crew communications with families, internet access and the like.
■Typically vessels of these kinds are highly valued targets, and frequently pass through dangerous shipping routes where piracy and attacks are common. The fleet is relatively small, but links need to be low latency, resilient secure and reliable. However, the customer also needed to keep costs as low as possible for both the initial capital outlay and ongoing operational expenditures.
●A Solution that Just Meshes
■Communications across a geographically dispersed and mobile fleet makes satellite communication the obvious answer. The need for the lowest possible latency pointed towards a mesh network rather than the more traditional topology of a star network for an application like this. Rather than data travelling to and from a central hub and therefore requiring two passes through the satellite with twice the delay for a star network, a mesh allows each location to access every other location in a single hop.
