Enabling Connected Maritime Operations with MCX ONE

A Unified Mission-Critical Platform for Seamless Ship-to-Shore, Port, and Fleet Communication

Enabling Connected Maritime Operations with MCX ONE

Overview

The maritime industry operates across highly distributed and often disconnected environments—spanning vessels at sea, busy ports, and centralized control centers. Ensuring reliable communication, real-time visibility, and coordinated operations across these domains is critical for safety, efficiency, and business continuity.

MCX ONE delivers a standards-based, interoperable mission-critical platform that unifies communication across ships, ports, and headquarters. With its cloud-native architecture, edge capabilities, and MCX ONE delivers a standards-based, interoperable mission-critical platform that unifies communication across ships, ports, and headquarters. With its cloud-native architecture, edge capabilities, and multi-tenant design, MCX ONE enables seamless ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore, and port operations—even in low or no connectivity scenarios., MCX ONE enables seamless ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore, and port operations—even in low or no connectivity scenarios.

By integrating voice, video, data, and operational applications into a single platform, MCX ONE empowers maritime stakeholders to operate with greater safety, control, and efficiency across the entire maritime ecosystem.

Requirements

The maritime industry demands secure, resilient, and always-available communication to ensure safe navigation, efficient port operations, and coordinated fleet management. Modern maritime environments require a platform that seamlessly connects ships, ports, headquarters, and offshore operations while maintaining reliable communication even in challenging network conditions. Key requirements include:

  • Reliable Ship-to-Shore & Ship-to-Ship Communication for uninterrupted collaboration across vessels and shore-based operations.
  • Mission-Critical Communication with instant voice, video, data, emergency calling, and priority services.
  • Resilient Operations in Limited Connectivity through onboard edge capabilities that support communication during network outages.
  • Centralized Fleet & Port Coordination for real-time monitoring, dispatching, and operational control.
  • Multi-Site & Multi-Tenant Architecture to securely manage multiple shipping lines, ports, and operational entities.
  • Integration with Existing Maritime Systems including private LTE/5G networks, legacy radio systems, IoT sensors, and port management platforms.
  • Real-Time Location & Operational Visibility to track vessels, personnel, and critical assets across maritime environments.
  • Scalable, Secure & Future-Ready Infrastructure capable of supporting expanding fleets, ports, and next-generation broadband networks.

Solution

MCX ONE provides a unified mission-critical communication platform that connects ships, ports, headquarters, and offshore operations on a single, secure communication ecosystem. Built on open 3GPP MCX standards, the platform enables mission-critical voice, video, data, location, and dispatch services over private and public LTE/5G networks. Its cloud-native architecture, edge intelligence, and interoperable design ensure seamless communication across distributed maritime environments while supporting both connected and disconnected operations.

Onboard Ship Communication

Each vessel is equipped with an MCX ONE Platform Edge, creating a self-contained mission-critical communication system for onboard operations. Crew members can communicate using mission-critical voice, video, messaging, and location services while the onboard platform continues operating independently, even when connectivity to shore is unavailable. Once connectivity is restored, communication and operational data are seamlessly synchronized with the central network.

  • Private 4G/5G communication network onboard the vessel
  • Independent operation during connectivity outages
  • Mission-critical voice, video, messaging, and location services
  • Automatic synchronization with shore-based systems upon reconnection

Connected Fleet & Shore Operations

MCX ONE enables seamless collaboration between ships, ports, and headquarters through a secure multi-site architecture. Hub sites, port sites, and ship sites are interconnected via a VPN mesh over public or private networks, ensuring continuous communication across the maritime ecosystem. Personnel automatically register with the appropriate MCX ONE Platform based on their operational location, allowing uninterrupted access to mission-critical services.

  • Secure VPN mesh connecting ships, ports, and headquarters
  • Real-time ship-to-shore and fleet-wide communication
  • User registration on Ship Edge or Hub Site based on operational location
  • Centralized dispatching and operational coordination

Port & Multi-tenant Operations

MCX ONE supports a multi-tenant architecture that enables shipping companies, port authorities, terminal operators, and logistics organizations to securely operate on a shared platform. Each organization independently manages its users, groups, and operational workflows while maintaining complete data isolation. For joint operations, communication groups can securely span across multiple tenants, enabling seamless collaboration between ports and shipping lines.

  • Multi-tenant platform for shipping lines and port operators
  • Independent management of users, groups, and communications
  • Cross-tenant communication for coordinated operations
  • Integration with port management systems, IoT platforms, and legacy radio networks

Emergency Response & Business Continuity

MCX ONE strengthens maritime safety by enabling prioritized emergency communications and coordinated incident response. During distress situations, emergency calls, alerts, and dedicated communication groups ensure rapid collaboration between ships, port authorities, coast guards, and rescue teams. The distributed architecture, combined with Edge deployments and geo-redundancy, ensures communication remains available during network failures or disaster scenarios.

  • Priority emergency calls and distress communication
  • Coordination with coast guards and rescue agencies
  • Dedicated communication channels for emergency operations
  • High availability through Edge deployment and geo-redundant architecture

Flexible & Scalable Maritime Deployment

MCX ONE adapts to diverse maritime environments through Edge, Enterprise, Cloud, and portable deployments. From large commercial fleets and ports to offshore platforms and temporary rescue missions, the platform scales to meet varying operational requirements. Portable Network-in-a-Box deployments provide mission-critical communication in isolated or temporary locations where permanent infrastructure is unavailable.

  • Edge, Enterprise, and Cloud deployment models
  • Portable Network-in-a-Box for remote operations
  • Support for public and private LTE/5G networks
  • Future-ready, standards-based architecture built on 3GPP MCX
