Integrated, high-performance network for merchant vessels and shipyards

GICOM needed to upgrade and modernise its main network and Wi-Fi infrastructure.

GICOM S.r.l. is an international high-tech company providing fully integrated communication systems that meet specific operational needs on board ships, as well as offshore units of any type and size. Supported by a team with extensive experience and a commitment to ongoing technological innovation, it offers advanced and efficient solutions, extended warranty terms, reliable services and competitive prices.

Challenge

GICOM needed to upgrade and modernise its main network and Wi-Fi infrastructure. This operation was conducted through a tender procurement procedure and not only required the replacement of outdated components, but also the integration of its sophisticated audio distribution systems. The complexity of the project meant coordinating with multiple suppliers, managing tight deadlines and ensuring operational continuity during the works, while maintaining high quality and safety standards.



Manuel Sementa, Technical Director of GICOM S.r.l. says: "Our network has been completely renewed, allowing us to significantly improve our audio and video communication systems. We now have a stable high-performing infrastructure that allows us to operate more efficiently and reliably."

Solution

D-Link has partnered with the system integrator C2 Corporate S.r.l.* to provide an integrated solution that includes modern, high-performance physical appliances and software for remote management of the entire infrastructure, deployed at the Shanghai shipyard and on merchant vessels. The switches and access points used are a flexible and highly efficient solution, while Nuclias Connect management software provides simple centralised management, allowing the entire implemented network to be controlled from a single point.

David Braga, Enterprise Sales Manager at C2 Corporate S.r.l. says: "Working with D-Link again to implement a high-performing network solution for GICOM was an exciting project. Thanks to the synergy between our technical expertise and D-Link’s advanced technologies, we were able to deliver a state-of-the-art network infrastructure that fully supports the company's audio and video communication systems."

Result

By utilising D-Link products, the technological upgrade allowed GICOM to achieve improved performance and enhanced fluidity in the audio-video communications of its systems. Moreover, with the Nuclias Connect solution, GICOM now has the ability to take control of the entire network, while remotely managing its switches and access points in a simple and intuitive manner. Additionally, network alerts enable IT administrators to monitor the real-time status of the installed devices and respond quickly in case of any issues.
