KNL Networks is building a mesh network of base stations on ships for securely transmitting operational and machinery data to shore<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shortwave radio can be used for data transmissions from ships to shore and between vessels as an alternative, or even complementary, service to satellite communications.<\/p>\n

This is a long way from shortwave radio\u2019s use for voice communications at sea, but KNL Networks has developed this technology to generate a data transportation network. It has built a mesh of multiple base stations and terminals on ships to provide a backbone for internet-of-things (IoT) solutions.<\/p>\n

The dedicated IoT network is combined with military-grade security, pole-to-pole coverage and affordable pricing to make maritime IoT connections smarter, said KNL Networks chief executive Toni Linden.<\/p>\n

He explained to\u00a0Maritime Digitalisation & Communications<\/em>\u00a0that this shortwave radio network does not have the complexity or issues of satellite communications and can be scaled through simple vessel additions. \u201cWe have reinvented shortwave radio so that it is fully digital and automatic,\u201d he said.[…]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
