Maritime Communication Redefined

AquaNet delivers a robust, secure, and flexible communication system for maritime communities with integrated MMSI for enhanced safety.

Maritime Network

System Overview

Mesh Network

Multi-hop BLE mesh network with direct device communication, message relaying for extended coverage, and built-in redundancy.

Zonal Architecture

Aquapod-specific gateways create secure enclaves with localized control while maintaining central coordination capabilities.

MMSI Integration

Integrated Maritime Mobile Service Identity for enhanced emergency response and precise location tracking.

System Architecture

Network Topology

Central Hub
Pod 1
Pod 2
Pod 3
Pod 4

Central Hub

Acts as the network coordinator, managing device connections, data routing, and connection to external networks when available.

Zonal Gateways

Dedicated BLE gateways within each Aquapod act as local hubs for controlling appliances and managing BLE devices within the pod.

Data Flow

Sensor Data
Gateway Processing
Application Actions
External Communication

Data flows from sensors through gateways for processing, then to applications for action, with optional external transmission when connectivity is available. MMSI data is integrated at the gateway level for emergency response coordination.

Security Measures

Network Security

Device Authentication

Secure pairing and onboarding of devices to the network with multi-factor authentication for critical systems.

Data Encryption

End-to-end encryption of all BLE communications using AES-256 to protect data confidentiality.

Access Controls

Granular, role-based access controls for sensitive data and applications with activity logging.

MMSI Security

MMSI Validation

Automated processes to verify the authenticity and validity of MMSI data received from devices.

Secure Enclaves

Isolated sub-networks for each Aquapod with their own group keys for encrypted communication.

Intrusion Detection

Continuous monitoring for unauthorized access attempts with real-time alerts to security personnel.

Emergency Override

In emergency situations, the central hub can override pod-specific settings to ensure crew safety and vessel security. This includes:

  • Overriding door locks and access controls
  • Activating all MMSI beacons simultaneously
  • Taking control of environmental systems
  • Broadcasting emergency alerts to all devices
