Onomondo has helped launch the world’s largest private LTE network at sea in partnership with Maersk. The rollout of the platform covers 450 vessels in the Maersk fleet, which includes 100 time-chartered vessels and is designed to meet the increasing demand for real-time data transmission and provide advanced IoT capabilities.
With Maersk’s next-generation IoT Evolved Packet Core (EPC) connectivity platform, Maersk will be able to provide its customers with notable benefits, including real-time cargo tracking, enhanced supply chain visibility, and improved operational efficiency.
“We’re supporting continuous LTE connectivity at sea,” said Henrik Aagaard, CTO and Co-Founder, Onomondo. “Maersk’s OneWireless solution enables real-time data transmission across land, ports, and sea with this new LTE network. Continuous connectivity means granular visibility, enabling Maersk’s customers to monitor cargo conditions, optimise operations, and respond to changing circumstances with agility.”
Unlike traditional maritime setups that rely on complex coordination across multiple systems, Onomondo provides a single network that supports LTE, LTE-M, and NB-IoT, helping to simplify connectivity across Maersk’s global operations. This flexibility positions Onomondo as a maritime MNO, capable of accepting inbound roaming from global telecom providers and truly embracing a ‘”‘Bring Your Own IoT Device’ (BYOIoT) model at sea.
The rollout began in late 2024 and will continue into 2026, with installations timed during scheduled port stops to avoid disruption. Once fully deployed, OneWireless will serve as core IoT infrastructure for Maersk’s connected fleet—allowing for new possibilities for end-to-end cargo visibility at a global scale.
“With our next-generation connectivity platform, we will be able to offer real-time cargo tracking, enhanced supply chain visibility, and improved operational efficiency. This platform is designed to support thousands of IoT devices, ensuring optimal performance for reefer tracking and fleet IoT,” said Kjeld Dittmann, Head of Vessel and Cargo Connectivity, Maersk.
