current leading ship-owning company in Spain for both cargo and

France.

Challenge |
|
|
|
|
|
Provide mobile and Internet services in the
sailing ships, for both crew and passengers. Offer connectivity
without needing a network infrastructure that could interfere with
the existing ship technology. |
|
|
|
Solution |
|
|
|
|
|
The project, developed by EkoPLC ®, consists
of using the existing electrical network technology to offer
telecommunication services through low tension wires.
|
|
|
|
Benefits |
|
|
|
|
|
This technology will enable Acciona
Trasmediterranea ships to capture external communications via
satellite and transmit them internally throughout the ship without
having to install new wiring.
Besides, this overcomes the impossibility of
wireless networks to reach inside the ship´s metallic structure.
PLC, Internet connection using existing power lines, is a step
forward for services aimed to the client’s satisfaction.
