Aikom: Yachts Always Connected and Protected
In the private yacht sector, managing security, communications, and onboard digital infrastructures requires reliable, scalable solutions designed for complex operational environments. To meet these needs, Aikom International’s technology portfolio offers industry professionals a selection of advanced systems that ensure operational continuity, efficiency, and protection under all conditions. These solutions are specifically designed for system integrators and specialized operators working with yacht owners, shipyards, and companies active in the nautical industry.
Digital and interoperable onboard communications
Managing communication flows between crew members, guests, and onboard systems is one of the key factors for ensuring vessel efficiency and safety. Motorola Solutions’ MOTOTRBO digital radios, including the R5, R7, and R7Ex models, stand out for their audio quality, ruggedness (IP54/IP68), maritime certifications (ITU-R M.1174-4 ETSI; EN 300 720 V2.1.1; IEC / EN 60945:2002), battery life, and customization capabilities.
Integration with the VesselWatch software extends their functionality by enabling notifications, asset tracking, and alarm monitoring. A notable example is the superyacht Attila, equipped with Motorola Solutions’ Capacity Plus network and a DAS system, ensuring coverage even beyond 5 nautical miles from the mother ship.
Hybrid Networks and Seamless Connectivity
Maintaining uninterrupted data, voice, and video connectivity is another critical requirement, especially while navigating or operating in low-coverage areas. Peplink solutions enable intelligent aggregation of cellular, Wi-Fi, and satellite networks, with native integration of Starlink terminals that also allows remote management of the satellite system through a dashboard, including antenna orientation, GPS monitoring and dynamic traffic balancing.
In demanding marine environments, the Peplink MAX Antenna ensures stability and high performance thanks to its resistance to vibration, saltwater exposure, and harsh weather conditions. For more advanced configurations, such as megayachts or vessels with a large number of connected devices, the Balance 1350 EC platform supports the simultaneous management of up to five WAN connections, SD-WAN capabilities, and centralized cloud-based control.
Completing the infrastructure, Poynting antennas provide multi-band compatibility (3G/4G/5G, LTE, Wi-Fi), delivering reliable performance even in challenging environmental conditions.
Integrated Security and System Interoperability
In the field of onboard physical security management, the Ognios by Commend platform plays a particularly significant role. This IP intercom solution is specifically designed for mission-critical environments and delivers outstanding speech intelligibility even in high-noise conditions, thanks to beamforming microphones and integrated amplifiers.
The platform supports terminal customization, integration with cameras and touchscreens, and access control functionalities. Ognios centrally manages PA systems, RoIP communications, video surveillance, and fire protection systems through a secure and redundant PSIM platform, offering advanced configurations and customizable alarm scenarios.
Aikom: Added Value for the Most Ambitious Nautical Projects
From communications and video surveillance to network management and centralized alarm control, today’s technologies enable a unified approach to technical operations and onboard security management. This represents a strategic resource for designers, installers, and maritime operators who face increasing demands for efficiency and interoperability in marine environments.
To receive technical datasheets, arrange a demonstration, or design tailor-made solutions for specific functional areas or fully integrated systems, professionals can rely on the experience and support of Aikom International.
