Maritime Fiber Fuses Corporate and Seafaring Experience
with Industry-Leading Fiber Optics to Fulfill A New World of Connectivity Onboard Vessels
MIAMI – February 28th, 2021 – Maritime Fiber, LLC today announced its newly formed entity,registered in the state of Florida, that will afford cruise lines, cargo and charter vessels, US manufactured broadcast and military grade fiber optics technology solutions.
Exclusively dedicated to the maritime industry, Maritime Fiber leadership has decades of cruise line experience operating vessels and knowledge of vessel new builds and the cabling infrastructure required to support onboard functions.
“While the world awaits for the maritime industry to resume sailing, we have seen great opportunity in partnering with their parent companies to advance current connectivity projects that will upgrade the onboard experience,” said David Steedman, Sales Director.” Maritime Fiber has stepped into an open field as these companies have limited suppliers with corporate maritime experience and none that solely focus on the maritime industry itself. Experts in maritime and fiber optics, we bridge experience in both industries to provide our marine counterparts the best in fiber optics by a team who speak their industry language. ”
Pandemic Steers Maritime Companies in New Technology Direction
With several maritime companies already having made strides in minimizing their carbon footprint and enhancing sustainability efforts by recycling paper and plastic products onboard, the current no-sail order,as of result of COVID-19, has fast tracked shoreside efforts in producing emerging applications and new technologies to upgrade vessel communications, transitioning to a digital platform.
In the cruise line industry alone, the need to enhance guest experiences is driving the need to rethink cabling and connectivity infrastructures. All maritime companies are experiencing a demand in being able to upgrade their entertainment, communication and IT platforms.
Cruise lines themselves are also keeping up with shoreside advancements by adopting and introducing technologies that enable them to provide a better scope of services and overall experience with greater bandwidth capabilities. From wearable technology that houses the guest travel and personal information to access points to stream entertainment, innovations in technology are on the rise. As experts in this field we can assist with passive optical networks and design services.
