Case Study: Seafar scales semi-autonomous fleet operations with Peplink

Seafar scales semi-autonomous fleet operations across 50+ vessels with Peplink

Seafar, a semi-autonomous and remote vessel operator, faced the challenge of scaling its fleet amidst a maritime workforce shortage. Its teleoperation model, which allows shore-based captains to control multiple vessels remotely, required an unbreakable, low-latency connection to operate safely across inland and coastal waterways where cellular coverage is inconsistent. To solve this, they turned to Peplink for a reliable connectivity solution.

Peplink implemented a network infrastructure using its BR1 Pro 5G routers, HD1 Dome Pro antennas, Switch Series, InControl cloud management, and SpeedFusion bonding technology. This solution provided the continuous, stable connection necessary for real-time teleoperation, resulting in 24/7 operational uptime. The measurable impact was immediate, enabling Seafar to confidently scale its operations with a fleet of over 50 vessels that is expected to double within the year.
