research vessel owned and operated by Kongsberg, which will continue normal operations during the pilot maritime IoT project.

Simrad Echo will rely on Kognifai Vessel Insight to monitor main and auxiliary systems on the vessel and help ensure 100% availabil- ity. The Kongsberg Mapping Cloud application will move high-res- olution echo sounding data from vessel to shore in real time so that shore-based personnel can provide analysis to optimize vessel ops.

The data ? ow from Simrad Echo will be facilitated by KVH Watch

IoT Connectivity as a Service.

KVH Watch features two modes: Watch Flow, for 24/7, machine- to-machine data delivery compatible with major IoT ecosystems such as Kognifai; and Watch Intervention, for on-demand high-speed sessions for face-to-face support, remote equipment access, and very large data transfers.
