Secure Vessel-to-Shore Network Integration

Extending your corporate network across sea and shore.

Modern vessels are no longer isolated networks. They are floating extensions of enterprise infrastructure.

Operational systems, payment services, telephony, ERP platforms, security policies and internal applications must function onboard exactly as they do on land.

NOWHERE CONNECT SD-WAN securely bridges vessel networks with corporate data centers anywhere in the world.

Built on top of NOWHERE CONNECT WEAVER, it creates encrypted, resilient tunnels between ship and shore, allowing onboard systems to communicate with corporate infrastructure as if they were on the same private network.

One Unified Enterprise Network

With Nowhere Connect SD-WAN:

• Onboard networks connect directly to corporate data centers
• Internal servers and applications are securely accessible from the vessel
• Payment traffic can be routed through corporate firewalls
• Centralized telephony systems function seamlessly
• Unified security policies apply across sea and shore

The vessel becomes a secure branch of the enterprise network.

Fully Managed, Globally Resilient

Delivered as a managed service, Nowhere Connect SD-WAN includes:

• End-to-end monitoring
• Configuration and lifecycle management
• Continuous performance supervision
• No requirement for dedicated onboard IT resources

The solution supports multiple bearer technologies including radio, LTE/5G, LEO, GEO and VSAT – leveraging Weaver’s intelligent transport layer to ensure resilience.

Enterprise-Grade Capabilities
