Connectivity
Keep the ship online, far beyond the coast
AquaWave is more than water treatment — it is the ship's network hub. Connected equipment is the baseline; ship-wide networking and multi-link backhaul extend it.
Dark beyond the coast
Past near-shore coverage, equipment status and water data go silent — shore side flies blind.
Costly satellite data
Raw full-rate uploads make satellite links prohibitively expensive.
Isolated equipment
Engine-room devices speak different languages; data moves by clipboard and USB stick.
Architecture: antennas on deck, hub below
Satellite and cellular signals must be received outdoors with a clear sky view — a physical constraint, and the starting point of the design. AquaWave Link follows the proven maritime split: deck antennas plus an indoor hub.
Deck layer · outdoor
Starlink flat-panel antenna · 4G/5G marine antennas
Mounted on open deck or mast, salt-spray and UV resistant, unobstructed sky
Hub layer · indoor
AquaWave Link: multi-WAN aggregation · LAN switching · WiFi 6 · edge computing · firewall
Installed on the bridge or equipment room; antenna cables (PoE / RF) routed inside
Device layer · ship-wide
Treatment units · sensors · crew devices · bridge systems
Wired and wireless access — one network for the whole vessel
One ship-wide network
LAN + WiFi 6 across the vessel — treatment units, sensors and crew devices on one network, no more data islands.
Multi-link backhaul
A Starlink flat-panel on open deck as the primary link, with automatic switchover to 4G / 5G marine antennas near shore; the indoor hub routes by link quality and cost.
Edge computing
Data processed and aggregated onboard; only insights and alerts go uplink — satellite bandwidth spent where it matters.
Store-and-forward
Operational data cached locally during outages and synced on recovery — no gaps, no lost curves.
Remote operations
Shore engineers inspect conditions, diagnose faults and push policies remotely — fewer onboard visits, less downtime.
Built-in or optional?
Flagship models like the P-50 integrate the Link hub module (routing + edge computing) inside the equipment cabinet; other models get a standalone hub unit. Either way, Starlink and 4G/5G antennas always mount on open deck with cables routed inside — satellite signals must be received outdoors; that is a hard design rule. Existing vessels can also retrofit the full Link set — get connected first, then get smart.
