Plexus Networks is OmniAccess unique, integrated, IP-based data network, providing a resilient, future-proof infrastructure upon which to run all your superyacht systems, such as telephony, audio and video (AV), security CCTV, Internet, IPTV and much more. We talk to Jordi to found out a little more about its features.
Francis: We are here with Jordi the product manager for Plexus Controller with this the all in one network management tool. Jordi is going to give us a demonstration of the features of it.
Jordi: This is our tool for bandwidth management, it’s what we have and what we provide to customers so they can have fast access to their networks. As you can see, the screen shows the main dashboard. You can easily and quickly see what is happening to your VSAT connection.
You would know your position, you will know your signal strength and you would know the blank spot that you may have. You can easily see if your modem is failing and if it’s not failing it’s working fine. If you are having the connection that you are paying for and this is a really nice tool and it’s it goes with the philosophy that we have for the Plexus Control and the Plexus family of brothers, to have a simplified tool that covers your requirements.
Francis: It certainly looks like something that will be a great advantage to the users onboard the superyachts, it’s a fantastic bit of technology that you are showing me here. Any other features that we need to be aware of and talk to our audience about?
Jordi: We provide a lot features with this Plexus controller, one of them is access selection, so with a single drag and drop, you can select which is the internet connection that you are using. So whenever you are in the middle of the sea, you can use the VSAT connectivity whenever you are approaching the shore. You can just drag and drop, and you’ll have the system you can access the configuration to make the traffic go through the shore connection. Which means you are going from access three or four devices by hand to a single drag and drop.
Francis: It seems a very straight forward process and I think anything that can simplify processes onboard yachts, will be welcomed.
Jordi: We also have another interesting feature, we have the real time traffic, so you can know and identify the real-time of what is happening in your local area network, and this is a feature that a lot of customers are asking for, because they want to know every moment of who is consuming the bandwidth.
Francis: So really, the high level of detail about the usage.
Jordi: Exactly, and this is the feature that a lot of customers have requested for in the past. You have a lot of crew, the owners, a lot of people on board, with multiple devices and they want to have full control of the network.
