Ferries & Marinas by the numbers
Challenges & fixes
Being on the water rules out most standard backhaul options
A ferry mid-crossing or a marina slip far from the office often has no fixed-line backhaul at all, leaving passengers and boat owners with no connectivity exactly when they're paying for a premium experience.
- ✓Satellite & Rural Backhaul covers routes and locations with no fixed-line option
- ✓Cellular routers provide backhaul closer to shore
- ✓Solar / Off-Grid AP Portfolio powers access points across marina slips without new wiring
Seasonal demand swings make it hard to size the network right
A marina that's half-empty in winter and fully booked in summer needs a network that can flex, but most systems are sized once and either overbuilt or overwhelmed most of the year.
- ✓OpenX Cloud capacity monitoring adapts visibility to seasonal load
- ✓Zero-Touch Provisioning makes seasonal capacity additions fast
- ✓OpenX Gateway bandwidth policy keeps peak-season access fair across slips
Our solutions
OpenX WiFi is the OpenWiFi-based access point firmware behind every Wifi-Soft deployment — Wifi-Soft doesn't manufacture access points. Instead, OpenX WiFi runs on a growing list of supported ODM hardware, so you pick the AP that fits your budget and site instead of being locked into one vendor's box, all managed centrally through OpenX Gateway or OpenX Cloud.
OpenX Cloud is an open wireless cloud controller for Enterprise, SMB, and MDU deployments, built on an open technology stack (OpenWiFi cloud SDK and AP NOS). It runs on low-cost, low-compute AP hardware from any supported ODM — no hardware vendor lock-in — with full WiFi 6/6E support and backward compatibility for WiFi 4/5. Deploy on AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, or your own data center, as SaaS or a licensed platform.
