The Platform Broadband@Sea brings 13 ship-owners and 11 maritime suppliers together in an informal setting to discuss topics such as the development of VSAT technology, the usability of broadband connectivity in cost efficient communications, real-time monitoring, crew welfare vs operational excellence and big data / internet of things. The next (ship-owners only) meeting of the Platform Broadband@Sea will be held during Europort, followed by a networking reception of the entire platform at one of the Holland Pavilions, hosted by Netherlands Maritime Technology.
