Telecom26’s maritime connectivity team @ Intermodal Europe

6 October 2023

Intermodal Europe is the continent’s “leading event for container shipping and intermodal transport”.  It’s taking place in Amsterdam next week and Telecom26’s team will be out in force talking about the importance of fast and reliable maritime connectivity to today’s global shipping market.

Telecom26 provides maritime connectivity solutions to ports and shipping companies around the world to improve the communications which help monitor and track containers as they make their way around the world – on-water, in-port and in-land. 

Our team of maritime connectivity experts are already working with global shipping carriers which want to manage the entire shipment and delivery process of goods through connectivity, cloud computing traceability, monitoring, smart sensors - and smart containers.

Our maritime connectivity offering includes:

  • A full Cellular At Sea maritime connectivity service for vessels of all sizes – which includes local mobile connectivity and a secure private network on board
  • A Nearshore Connectivity Service - Our blog “Nearshore Connectivity - perfect for vessels up to 30km off the coast” discusses how most ships and vessels spend the majority (up to 60%) of their time in port or in coastal waters. They are therefore within range of land-based cellular networks which can provide coverage to vessels as far out as 30km. So, instead of relying on costly satellite for data or connectivity, vessels – and the people on-board - can use these cellular networks
  • Networks for personal communications, onboard
  • A maritime connectivity IoT Service including private networks on-board vessels, oil rigs and platforms – and supply chain tracking.

We will shortly be announcing a service called GPS Tracker, which has been developed for logistics tracking, freight, e-transport, taxis, last mile delivery – and more.

This combines both GPS tracking and cellular connectivity management and provides control location reporting and remote alerting with SMS so users always know where their goods, products, containers and vehicles are.

You can read a number of earlier blogs about smart containers, IoT on-board ships and the importance of maritime connectivity here:

And, you can explore the complete IoT communications voyage in our handy guide, as we look at multi-modal transport and how shippers and logistics companies can leverage mobile to collect remote data.

Get In Touch

If you are also attending Intermodal Europe and would like to meet up to discuss the connectivity requirements of your shipping business then please book a meeting.

We will also be attending:
