Hunid's Maritime Network System Introduced

The Republic of Korea Navy's First Fleet deployed over 20 vessels for this exercise, including the Aegis destroyer ROKS Yulgok Yi I (7,600 tons), the Korean destroyer ROKS Gwanggaeto the Great (3,200 tons), the next-generation frigate ROKS Gyeonggi (2,500 tons), submarines, P-3 maritime patrol aircraft, and Lynx maritime operation helicopters.

[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] Domestic defense company Hunid Technologies has unveiled the 'Hyperconnected Maritime Network System.'

According to Hunid on the 20th, the 'Hyperconnected Maritime Network System' is a system that enables large-capacity communication services in Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) where communication is not possible. Utilizing Hunid's maritime network system developed with High-Capacity Transmission Radio System (HCTRS) technology, it is explained that a long-distance communication of over 140km with a maximum transmission speed of 100Mbps can be guaranteed.

By utilizing communication links between land, sea, and air, the communication range can be expanded, meaning that a large-capacity communication network can be established throughout the EEZ. Warships conducting operations near the coast build communication networks through the ground station's automatic tracking function, and when the operational radius of the warships expands, the communication range is extended via communication links between warships or between warships and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Hunid plans to showcase the Hyperconnected Maritime Network System at the '2022 International Maritime Safety Exhibition' held for three days from the 22nd at Songdo Convensia in Incheon.

They will also present an aerial communication relay system. The aerial communication relay using unmanned aerial vehicles provides not only communication but also Wi-Fi service within a radius of over 30km of the UAV. This enables rapid response to maritime operations and disaster situations. The company explained that if provided to the Coast Guard and Navy, which currently rely on low-capacity satellite communications, it would be helpful for maritime operations.

Kim Wang-kyung, Hunid's Head of Business, stated, "It will provide various operational environments in maritime settings where building communication networks is difficult," adding, "We expect it to contribute not only to protecting maritime sovereignty but also to expanding maritime rights and interests."
