Mobile Communication Solutions in the Maritime Environment (Ships & Offshore)

Reliable 5G/LTE coverage at sea – from workboats to yachts. We design, install, and operate customized systems with remote maintenance so that crew & offshore teams remain connected on board.

Example image: antennas on the top deck of a supply vessel

Top Deck Reception

Omnidirectional antennas at the railing edge – ensuring at least one antenna always has a clear line of sight to the nearest BTS.

Example image: technical area with outdoor components

Clean Indoor Distribution

Signal distribution via remote units & service antennas – mostly in corridors, targeted in special rooms.

Example image: professionally routed antenna and cable paths

Maritime Execution

Corrosion protection, proper cable routing, documentation & measurement protocols included.

Highlights

5G/LTE – provider-selective

Remote maintenance & monitoring

Scalable for 6+ decks

Discrete service antennas

Robust marine installation

>90% coverage on board*

*depending on vessel layout, network expansion and operational area.

Case Study: Offshore Supply Vessel (Vietnam)

On an offshore supply vessel, we combined three SymRepeaters as input signal sources with a circular top-deck antenna arrangement. Inside, a ZoneDAS-One operates with a base unit on deck 4, expanders on decks 3 & 2, and 14 remote units; coverage is provided via 56 service antennas in corridors and selected areas (e.g. bridge, engine room, cinema, fitness). Band coverage includes B1/B3/B8/B28, band-selective and adapted to the deployment region; full selectivity is intentionally left open, as the vessels operate worldwide. Result: stable coverage in >90% of areas.

Component example incl.: ZoneDAS One base/expander/remote modules, service antennas & marine cable routing (details see internal order 16361).

Technical Key Data (simplified)

System setup: ZoneDAS One with base unit (deck 4), expanders (deck 3 & 2) and 14 remote units
Indoor coverage: 56 service antennas – mainly in corridors, additionally in special rooms (bridge, cinema, engine room, fitness)
Top-deck antennas: 7 omnidirectional antennas arranged in a ring, plus 1 antenna for remote maintenance modem
Frequency bands: B1 / B3 / B8 / B28 – flexible, band-selective, suitable for worldwide use
Coverage: >90% of all areas on board, stable service even with changing locations

Note: These details are intentionally simplified. Detailed plans, measurement protocols and engineering information are provided during the project discussion.
