Ericsson 5G Enhancing Maritime Data Connectivity

Ericsson’s Private 5G and Cradlepoint edge routers are set to improve real-time data connectivity in maritime environments, supporting faster decision-making and operational efficiency. Originally deployed in SailGP’s F50 catamarans, the technology provides high-speed, low-latency communication under challenging conditions, enabling seamless data exchange between vessels and onshore teams. The system ensures continuous monitoring and analytics, offering insights into performance, safety, and environmental factors.

Designed to function in rugged maritime conditions, Ericsson’s connectivity solutions facilitate high-bandwidth data transmission for applications such as remote vessel monitoring, offshore infrastructure management, and maritime logistics. The ability to process and relay vast amounts of information in real time supports more efficient navigation, operational transparency, and improved safety measures.

Ericsson states that its Private 5G and Cradlepoint edge routers enable high-performance connectivity where traditional networks struggle. “Reliable, real-time data transfer is critical in demanding environments like offshore operations and maritime logistics,” said Manish Tiwari, Head of Enterprise 5G, Enterprise Wireless Solutions, Ericsson. “With our solutions, organizations can deploy networks rapidly, ensuring robust communication that enhances decision-making, efficiency, and safety.”
