The Challenge
When luxury expedition cruise operator Swann Hellenic commissioned the construction of three state-of-the-art exploration vessels—SH Minerva, SH Vega, and SH Diana—at Helsinki Shipyard in Finland, the shipbuilder faced a unique challenge. While the shipyard had decades of experience constructing icebreakers and commercial utility vessels, designing communications infrastructure for luxury cruise ships was outside its traditional expertise. As a result, an enterprise communications solution had not been specified for the vessels.
To address this gap, G6 Global, an international communications firm that specializes in designing and deploying tailored two-way radio communications solutions, was engaged to design, supply, install, and commission a complete IP communications platform capable of meeting the expectations of both guests and crew. The solution needed to provide premium video communications for every guest cabin while supporting reliable voice communications throughout crew quarters and operational areas across each ship.
