Through the integration of Starlink, OneWeb, 5G, Iridium Certus, and EVO3, MPP Carriers established a more flexible, secure, and cost-efficient vessel communications environment.
MPP Carriers trusted Marpoint to upgrade connectivity across its entire fleet, replacing lower-speed, costly VSAT services and eliminating the associated VSAT subscription costs.
The solution combines Starlink and OneWeb with coastal 5G coverage and Iridium Certus backup. At its core, the EVO3 Router automatically switches between connections based on coverage, performance, and operational needs, while providing next-generation firewall protection and centralized network management.This setup supports onboard operations, secure remote IT access, and improved crew internet access.
Marpoint’s asset management also provides connected onboard equipment tracking, helping MPP Carriers maintain an accurate IT inventory and support its maritime cybersecurity compliance efforts.
At the same time the new connectivity ecosystem has made communication with family, friends and online access significantly easier for MPP Carries seafarers.
“EVO3 gives us the centralized visibility and control required to manage a complex connectivity environment across our vessels. By combining next-generation network management with enhanced cybersecurity and remote access, we can support onboard operations more efficiently and respond faster when technical issues arise.”
