Maritime communications, navigation and au[ds_preview]tomation systems company Radio Holland Group has signed a strategical agreement with American ICT company Cisco. Aim of the cooperation is to play a key role in accelerating digitization in the maritime sector.

The aim is to develop and offer maritime ICT solutions, for example remote monitoring & diagnostics services, data management and networks on board.

Dennis Mol, Chief Operations Officer at the Radio Holland Group: »In a challenging maritime market it is Radio Holland’s drive to keep finding and developing solutions that reduce the ›cost of ownership‹ of vessels and improve the efficiency of ship‘s operations. If a ship can’t sail because of technical problems, the costs incurred are substantial. Our customers are looking for innovative ways to make and keep the operations of their fleet more reliable, efficient and effective. Together with our partner Cisco and with our complementary expertise, we can develop scalable ICT solutions for various types of ships and market segments.«

Radio Holland sees opportunities to improve the unlocking of data on board in line with the trend of the »Internet of Things« and to optimize the data connection between ship and shore.

»Our cooperation offers opportunities to develop, implement and effectively manage sector specific solutions. The development of the maritime sector also seamlessly connects to the initiative announced by Cisco last week, to establish an investment fund in cooperation with the Dutch government to stimulate Digital Acceleration of The Netherlands,« says Edwin Prinsen, Managing Director Cisco Netherlands.
