For shipping to run smoothly and safely, reliable communication is indispensable. The Nederlands Loodswezen (NLW), together with partner ISG B.V. and Capestone, chose a solution that offers better mobile coverage and higher Internet speeds in coastal areas. Thanks to the combination of the Poynting Ripple-8 antenna and the Cradlepoint R1900 router, their ships are now stably and securely connected.
The Netherlands Pilotage Service (NLW) plays a crucial role in guiding ocean-going vessels to and from Dutch ports. A reliable mobile network is essential for communication, navigation and operational safety. Off the Dutch coast, however, the Loodswezen experienced significant challenges due to limited mobile coverage, which directly impacted the continuity of their services.
Working with ISG B.V., Capestone recommended a combination of the Poynting Ripple-8 antenna with a Cradlepoint R1900 router. This powerful solution provides significantly improved mobile coverage and faster Internet speeds, even in areas with traditionally weak coverage. By integrating advanced antenna technology and robust 4G/5G routing, Pilotage ships can now communicate safely and stably at greater distances from shore.
