The Port of Riga to become a testbed for resilient maritime connectivity, as LVR Flote and HARDMODE sign MoU

LVR Flote, a provider of technical port services, and connectivity technology company HARDMODE have partnered to develop and test secure communications technologies for ports and the wider maritime sector as a crucial part of critical infrastructure. The goal is to deploy resilient and secure communication from routine operations to crisis situations. The parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the Techritory Forum in Riga.

The Port of Riga will serve as a real-world testing environment for new connectivity solutions designed to remain reliable in challenging conditions, where connectivity is a must for mission-critical operations. The partners will pilot technologies in real port operations, jointly pursue research and development projects, and explore how successful solutions could be commercialised and deployed in other European ports.

Ports and the maritime sector rely on real-time data exchange. A port fleet is more than vessels: it also includes infrastructure that has to keep working at all times. HARDMODE develops multi-technology communication solutions that keep sensors, people, vehicles, drones and other infrastructure elements connected even when no commercial network is available, but high stability is critical.
