Don’t be persuaded by IoT offerings using a shared VSAT terminal. Unlike using a dedicated IoT terminal and network, relying on a single VSAT terminal for OT and IT connectivity raises the risk of security breaches, creates operational inefficiencies and conflicting priorities, and potentially results in higher operating and service costs.
Stakeholder Conflict
Inadequate Bandwidth
Conflicts and design incompatibilities arise in data access among multiple stakeholders needing to use the primary VSAT network that is already supporting the ship’s everyday operational needs
No Real-time Awareness
Live video interventions require dedicated and prioritized connectivity to render fine details such as barcodes, circuits on a PCB, labels, and serial numbers that engineers need to see
Shared IT & OT Terminal
Lack of real-time data prohibits access to live condition monitoring or situational awareness during interventions
Conflicting IT & OT Requirements IT networks are typically limited to crew accommodation and common areas where Internet access won’t put the vessel in peril; OT access for real-time troubleshooting and interventions need secure, controlled access to SOLAS-regulated spaces
Increased Cybersecurity Risks Combined IT/OT network increases the risk of human error or malicious code or actions affecting critical systems
Poor First Time Fix Rate Scheduling tech support during port visits results in slow diagnosis, the wrong parts, or even the wrong technician being deployed
