The first solution for distributing satellite power between ships!07.09.2024 09:17

According to a press release, Neuron has launched the Network Capacity Controller, the first solution for dynamically allocating satellite capacity across vessels.

The Network Capacity Controller uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to make the best use of fleet-wide capacity when and where it is needed most, optimizing resources, performance, and quality of experience (QoE), the company said.

Satellite capacity, when allocated to a vessel, aircraft, or remote location, is typically fixed. If one endpoint in a fleet requires more capacity due to high data requirements, and another has excess capacity, resources cannot be easily reallocated to balance the load. Sophisticated modeling and forecasting aim to avoid underutilization and overload, but optimal utilization is difficult to predict due to changes in geography, weather, passenger numbers, application requirements, demand variables over time, etc. As a result, performance and cost inefficiencies are inevitable.

The Network Capacity Controller intelligently reallocates bandwidth in near real-time, without the need for manual intervention or intervention. For example, if weather conditions affect internet on Vessel A, the Network Capacity Controller will automatically reallocate bandwidth from Vessel B to Vessel A — and prioritize bandwidth that works better in the rain, while Vessel B uses other available bandwidth options.

“Efficiently managing connectivity resources across hundreds of moving ships and aircraft or remote assets is challenging,” said Benny Retnamoni, founder and CEO of Neuron. “The Network Capacity Controller eliminates the need to make capacity decisions on a per-endpoint basis. Neuron can measure and determine how much capacity the fleet needs, and the Network Capacity Controller will dynamically manage it to meet demand exactly when and where it matters.”

The company said the Network Capacity Controller is powered by Neuron Grid, an AI-powered network management solution that enables seamless mixed connectivity across multiple providers, orbits, and networks. The Grid’s intelligent decision engine makes decisions every 50 milliseconds to route traffic to a vessel, aircraft, or remote site over the right service at the right time, maximizing all available onboard bandwidth while delivering the highest QoE.

“At Neuron, we take care of the complex engineering so our customers don’t have to,” added Prateek Dahale, Neuron’s chief engineering officer. “The Network Capacity Controller works behind the scenes, analyzing thousands of data points every second to make decisions on how best to organize the fleet’s capacity pool and optimize the network accordingly. Its algorithm continually learns and adapts, delivering smarter decisions and better outcomes over time.”
