VIACHAIN and Star Solutions expand onboard connectivity for smart containers

VIACHAIN, an ORBCOMM company, and Star Solutions have formalized a strategic alliance to expand onboard connectivity for smart containers, strengthening cargo monitoring capabilities during ocean voyages.

The partnership combines Star Solutions’ private 4G/LTE networks with VIACHAIN’s connected container technology and CrewView application. The integration will allow compatible containers to exchange operational data through vessel-based communications networks.

The two companies already collaborate across hundreds of vessels operated by major shipping lines, supporting hundreds of thousands of smart containers.

The new agreement builds on this existing cooperation as carriers increasingly adopt private cellular networks onboard their vessels.
