Networking for cruise ships and ocean liners
Providing Internet access and IPTV is in important topic not only on land, but also at sea. Therefore, an increasing number of shipowning companies are networking their fleets. Even apart from the high costs, most ships cannot be easily retrofitted with network cables. The expensive wiring of a large ship would increase the weight substantially, which could have a negative impact on the structural engineering and centre of gravity. In addition, the renovation would take many months and incur a substantial loss of business. But how to network ships quickly and cost-effectively?

The solution approach with dLAN® products is fast and easy and can be done without high investments for renovation measures, as the networking uses the ship's existing cables. In this way, Internet and IPTV are available in all cabins on short notice. In addition, other services can be offered over this network, such as signing up for fitness classes, shore excursions, evening programmes, promotions etc. This not only improves processes and scheduling, it also reduces costs.
