Neuron has made a new breakthrough in the maritime arena. Service provider Tototheo Global will deploy Neuron’s AI-powered quality of experience management (QoE) platform to vessels contracted to Tototheo. The two companies announced the deal on June 7.

The agreement follows proof of concept tests verifying that Neuron’s QoE analytics solution, Neuron 360, aims to enhance connectivity robustness with deep insights that can be used to improve onboard connectivity operations and performance. With this partnership Tototheo Global and Neuron will work with customers to integrate real-time connectivity data from the antennas, routers and third-party systems on their ship’s end-to-end network, providing a holistic view of their connectivity and QoE on one vendor-neutral platform.

Tototheo is also part-way through a proof of concept with Neuron Grid, an AI-powered network management solution that enables intelligent network orchestration across multiple providers, orbits and networks. Neuron Grid integrates connectivity services offered via LEO, MEO, GEO, 4G, 5G and/or Wi-Fi and consolidates them into a single channel.

“Multi-network services are becoming widespread in commercial shipping, which makes it critical that there is transparency for the end user on the performance management of connectivity as a whole. Neuron 360 will ensure more uptime by bringing the visibility that makes it easier, quicker and less costly to resolve shipboard communication issues,” Despina Panayiotou Theodosiou, co-CEO Tototheo Global, said in a statement.
