routing hardware by provisioning connectivity and services via the cloud. Emerging SD- WAN technology can also be more flexible. For example, because SD-WAN connectivity can be controlled through cloud software, a customer might be able to scale up or ‘burst’ connectivity during times of peak demand. Says Perry, “So you can have real Broadband on board. That is going to make a difference. Captains need to think ahead about how to manage local connections. They might need SIMs from multiple suppliers, depending where they are cruising. The revolution is not faraway; two or three years. And then we will able to bring what
minute guests arrived. Has this improved? And if so how? It’s a question of money says White at Veritais: “More money needs to be spent on these systems. AV is the primary source of entertainment on board, used every day by guests but is given the least amount of resource and attention.”
Says Kerkhof, “We put a lot of effort into speaking with the Captains and ETOs on board the yachts that use our systems, in order to minimise the risk of not understanding the system/ malfunctioning. Additionally, all Crestron systems can be displayed and monitored via the variety of
room not working, things with technology can go wrong from time to time. It’s about managing if and when this happens. At CIPOD we manage all our systems remotely and input fail-safe controls for clients or crew to simply ‘reboot’ for ultimate peace of mind including 24/7 support if needed, whether it’s over the phone or an engineer sent to the location.”
So there we have it, OLED video wall swimming
pools, DigitalMedia™ NVX,
dance floors, cinemas, solid rocket WiFi for personal devices, IMMARSAT Fleet Media, and soon, very soon, your home library of
THE REVOLUTION IS COMING. IN FIVE YEARS TIME WE WILL SEE FIBRE OPTICS ONBOARD AND THE SERVICE WILL COME BEHIND THAT
you have at home, onto the yacht: Your Netflix library etc... not the one available where the yacht is currently based. It’s getting the content that is the sticking point right now. Inmarsat offer Fleet Media, an entertainment service that brings the best Hollywood movies, international films, TV box-sets, and international news and sports, anywhere at sea to the boat. So the revolution is coming. In five years time we will see fibre optics onboard and the service will come behind that.”
In the past entertainment (Audio/Visual/ internet etc) systems have been the bane of Captains’ lives, always malfunctioning the
software solutions we have in our portfolio. With these tools it is possible to create easy to understand dashboards for the ETOs and Captain that provide a comprehensive status update at a single glance. So, they can be sure everything is working perfectly when somebody comes onboard.”
“The good news,” says Stimilli, “is that HDMI looks less like a nightmare and wifi is getting easier too. But the only solution is proper training, remote maintenance and a comprehensive after-sales network.”
Says Munro at CIPOD, “Whether it’s a full yacht audio-visual system or a single
movies onboard your yacht. The tech world is taxing on the brain, but the results are out of this world delightful.
