Our latest industrial-grade 5G router, OceanoX, has successfully addressed the connectivity needs of vessels operating offshore, providing customers with a more cost-effective internet solution. This product enables stable reception of land-based mobile communication networks up to 80 kilometers offshore, significantly reducing the reliance on satellite internet and helping customers save on internet costs.
OceanoX features a waterproof and shock-resistant design, equipped with a specially designed antenna array and optimized software to ensure stable operation in harsh maritime environments. Compared to traditional satellite networks, using OceanoX allows cargo ships, passenger ferries, government vessels, fishing boats, and offshore wind farms to rely more on 3G/4G/5G networks, with satellite internet used only as a backup option, greatly reducing operational expenses.
Our product has already been successfully deployed in Southeast Asia and is currently in use on several passenger ferries operating between Hong Kong and Guangdong Province. Looking ahead, we plan to expand further into the European market. With OceanoX scheduled to begin mass production in June this year, we look forward to providing more maritime customers with efficient and reliable connectivity solutions, driving the development of smart maritime connectivity.
