Case Study: Blue Wireless achieves near-shore 4G LTE connectivity and cloud-managed fleet networking with Cradlepoint

Maritime Shipping Firm Uses Cellular for Near-Shore Connectivity Aboard Vessels

Blue Wireless was engaged to help maritime shipping group Vroon shore up connectivity across 120 vessels, addressing slow, expensive satellite links and the need for persistent near‑shore access to enterprise platforms like Microsoft Dynamics and MS Teams. To meet this challenge, Blue Wireless partnered with Cradlepoint and selected Cradlepoint’s NetCloud Service for Mobile and ruggedized, cloud‑managed edge routers as the turnkey cellular solution.

Cradlepoint deployed cloud‑controlled, dual‑modem 4G LTE routers and NetCloud orchestration so Blue Wireless could supplement fleet satellite networks with high‑speed cellular; Vroon’s IT team can now provision devices and troubleshoot remotely across the entire fleet. The Cradlepoint solution delivered reliable near‑shore connectivity for cloud applications across 120 vessels, reduced reliance on slow satellite links, and simplified centralized fleet management.
