MARINET - Mesh Networking for the Maritime Industry

MARINET -海事行业网状网络项目旨在开发一个通用无线网状网络，以实现海事连通性和通信的飞跃。将开发一个低成本的“即插即用”物联网（IoT）平台，以支持多个船舶系统，其中可以在IoT设备和集中式系统之间发送和接收信号，提供船上和周围的全面态势感知。MARINET将利用Rinicom Limited和System Loco Limited的专业知识和能力，为跟踪、远程监控、物流、供应链和安全应用开发最先进的电信和物联网解决方案。Edda Supply Ships（UK）Limited作为船舶运营商，将与Edda Supply Ships（UK）Limited共同开发原型系统，进行系统测试，确保解决方案符合行业要求。合作伙伴将通过船东和船队运营商的既定网络利用结果，寻求物联网解决方案，用于改造现有船舶和新建造船舶，以降低高昂的运营成本。成果可以快速扩展以实现商业化，通过销售网络基础设施和平台支持的特定应用物联网设备和服务创造重大商机。

The MARINET - Mesh Networking for the Maritime Industry project aims to develop a universal wireless mesh network to create a step-change in maritime connectivity and communications. A low cost, "plug-and-play" Internet-of-Things (IoT) platform will be developed to support multiple ship systems, where signals can be sent and received between IoT devices and a centralised system, offering full situational awareness onboard and around the vessel. Key IoT-enabled applications include asset positioning and maintenance, personnel tracking and safety, and mesh-networking between ships for safer and more efficient operations.MARINET will leverage the expertise and capabilities of Rinicom Limited and System Loco Limited in developing state-of-the-art telecommunications and IoT-solutions for tracking, remote monitoring, logistics, supply chain and security applications. A prototype system will be developed alongside Edda Supply Ships (UK) Limited, as a vessel operator, to perform system trials and ensure the solution meets industry requirements.The partners will exploit results through an established network of ship owners and fleet operators, seeking IoT solutions for retrofitting of existing vessels and new builds, in an effort to reduce high operational costs. Outcomes can be rapidly scaled for commercialisation, creating a significant business opportunity through the sale of network infrastructure and application specific IoT devices and services enabled by the platform.
