Case Study: Gozo Channel achieves reliable ferry connectivity and video surveillance backhaul with Proxim Wireless

Gozo Channel secures 5-kilometer ferry link with Proxim Wireless

Gozo Channel (Operations) Ltd, the main ferry operator between Malta and the island of Gozo, needed a reliable, high-performance network to provide mobile connectivity over water for live video surveillance feeds. They turned to Proxim Wireless for a solution and initially installed a Proxim Quickbridge system to establish a fixed link between their two ports.

Proxim Wireless implemented a mobile solution using their base stations at the ports and subscriber units on the ferries. This provided uninterrupted connectivity during channel crossings, enabling reliable video surveillance and preparing the network for future VoIP integration. The reliability and roaming capability of Proxim's FastConnect Technology were essential to the smooth operation of their ferry service.
