VMS – Vodanet Media Solution
Media without compromise — fully compliant at sea.
VMS is Vodanet’s professional TV and media distribution platform for vessels, offshore installations, hospitality and enterprise environments.
Designed for demanding networks and bandwidth-constrained environments, VMS delivers stable, high-quality live TV, IPTV and media distribution — whether serving a single screen or hundreds of displays across a vessel or facility.
The platform is engineered for performance, scalability and operational control — ensuring consistent quality without unnecessary bandwidth consumption.
Controlled media delivery. Built for scale.
VMS consolidates live TV, IPTV, hospitality media features and internal information channels into one structured and centrally managed platform.
The solution is built for environments where:
- Stability is critical
Bandwidth must be controlled - Visual quality must remain consistent
- Centralised administration is required
- Legal compliance and broadcast rights must be properly handled
- Whether 1 or 100+ TVs are active, media distribution remains stable, optimised and predictable.
Compliance Included — Not an Afterthought
This means:
- Copydan licensing is included for maritime installations
- KODA music rights are included for maritime installations
- Distribution rights are handled within the solution framework
- Documentation supports audit and compliance requirements
Vodanet does not treat compliance as an add-on.
It is integrated into the platform — ensuring lawful, documented and worry-free media distribution at sea.
This is a key differentiator in the maritime market.
The platform delivers:
- High-quality live TV and IPTV streaming
Legally compliant TV and film distribution - Bandwidth-efficient multicast distribution
- Centralised channel and signal management
- Secure hospitality casting from private guest devices
Internal information and announcement channels - Live video feeds (e.g., vessel bridge or bow camera displayed on TV network)
- Compatibility with professional TV environments
- Centralised configuration and operational control
- Documented media and signal architecture
All installations include structured documentation of media flows, segmentation and endpoint mapping — ensuring clarity, control and compliance.
VMS integrates seamlessly with:
- VMCS – for WAN-aware optimisation and controlled bandwidth usage
- VNSS – for secure network segmentation and traffic governance
- VCSS – for integration of video feeds into the media network
Together, this forms a structured and resilient ecosystem — delivering stable media at sea, offshore and across enterprise environments.
