Ericsson & Net Feasa: 4G/5G AI for Container Vessels

Ericsson and IoT service provider Net Feasa are partnering to bring 4G and 5G connectivity to container vessels. This global collaboration aims to provide secure, reliable connectivity at sea. Their combined offering includes Ericsson Radio System products and a 5G core network, integrated with Net Feasa’s Agentic Control Tower platform. This setup creates an AI-ready data layer for operational monitoring and cargo visibility. Deployment is already underway globally, with initial uses like reefer monitoring and dangerous goods handling. The partnership is driven from Singapore, aiming to give vessel owners and shipping companies real-time cargo visibility from departure to destination. The system can connect thousands of assets per vessel using onboard radio solutions and satellite backhaul. This initiative seeks to transform the global maritime industry, enhancing operational efficiency, employee safety, and cargo risk reduction. This development could mean more transparent and efficient global shipping operations for everyone.
