Ultra-Resilient High-Speed Communication for Remote Industrial Operations in Extreme Environments

digitalPilotedTRL 7

Imagine trying to control a robot or a machine from thousands of miles away, but the connection keeps lagging or dropping. This technology acts like a super-efficient postal service for data, ensuring messages get through quickly even if the connection is poor. It allows machines to react in real-time, even across the globe or in space, without the usual frustrating delays.

The business problem

What needed solving

Industries like mining and maritime lose millions in revenue due to communication lags and unreliable data transmission. Current UDP protocols lack the resilience needed for critical remote operations in extreme environments.

The solution

What was built

A resilient TCP-based API acceleration protocol with a .NET backend and a simulation testing system using Netropy.

Who can put this to work

Mining
enterprise
Target: Remote mining operation provider

If you are a remote mining operation provider dealing with communication delays in isolated areas — this project developed a TCP-based API acceleration that enables stable performance even with up to 10% packet loss. This ensures real-time control of machinery without the million-euro losses caused by unreliable networks.

Maritime
enterprise
Target: Autonomous shipping fleet operator

If you are an autonomous shipping fleet operator dealing with unstable satellite links — this project developed a communication protocol that brings delays down to 300ms over 10,000km. This allows for precise remote navigation and monitoring across global distances.

Space
any
Target: Satellite infrastructure company

If you are a satellite infrastructure company dealing with disruption-prone interplanetary links — this project developed space-grade communication capabilities. It provides a 30x effective technical benefit over current standards for long-distance data transmission.
