Case Study: JR Shipping Group achieves reliable, high-performance maritime connectivity and remote fleet management with Peplink (InControl 2 & Balance 30 LTE-A)

JR Shipping - Customer Case Study

JR Shipping, a Harlingen‑based short sea shipping company, needed reliable internet both at sea and in congested ports, plus visibility into signal strength, bands, data usage and connected devices. To meet those requirements they turned to Peplink solutions—notably InControl 2 for fleet‑wide management and the Balance 30 LTE‑A router with a built‑in captive portal—to enable remote access, carrier switching and better antenna/antenna‑alignment troubleshooting.

As system integrator OceanSat deployed Peplink’s InControl 2, Balance 30 LTE‑A units and a customized captive‑portal splash page across the fleet, giving shore teams full visibility and remote control from Harlingen. The Peplink rollout equipped 25 vessels in two months, enabled proactive support and reduced onsite visits, and delivered measurable impact: early data usage was already 4× expected and 8× that of the previous solution due to improved reliability and performance.
