VMCS – Vodanet Maritime Connectivity Solution
Connectivity that works at sea & beyond.
VMCS is Vodanet’s structured maritime WAN platform — engineered to deliver stable, resilient and intelligent connectivity for vessels, offshore installations and critical maritime operations.
It combines satellite, mobile and terrestrial links into one controlled architecture, ensuring operational continuity even in challenging offshore environments.
Reliable maritime connectivity. Designed for critical operations.
VMCS brings together satellite, mobile and terrestrial communication links into one structured maritime WAN platform.
Designed for vessels, offshore installations and transport environments, VMCS ensures stable connectivity, intelligent traffic control and uninterrupted operations where communication is mission-critical.
The platform automatically evaluates link stability, latency and performance, and manages routing, prioritisation and failover between Starlink, OneWeb, 4G/5G, VSAT and terrestrial links — without disruption for users or systems.
VMCS provides:
- Intelligent multi-WAN management across satellite and mobile networks
- Automatic failover and failback without service interruption
- QoS, traffic prioritisation and control for voice, OT and critical systems
- Segmentation between IT, OT, crew, guest and administrative networks
- Central monitoring, traceability and alert handling via Vodanet NOC
- Documented maritime network architecture including NORSOK diagrams and VLAN plans
All installations include full documentation of WAN topology, traffic policies, redundancy design and hardware traceability — ensuring operational clarity, compliance readiness and predictable performance at sea.
VMCS integrates seamlessly with:
- VNSS – secure network segmentation, firewall governance and access control
- VCSS – for stable uplink of video surveillance and remote access
- VMS – for controlled media distribution across limited bandwidth links
Together, this forms a resilient and structured maritime IT ecosystem — engineered to perform reliably at sea, offshore and across global operations.
