I. What is the Authentication & Billing system?
Authentication & Billing is a dedicated access management system for the marine satellite network that effectively manages access, access behaviour and funding strategies of Wi-Fi users on board ships. The system is usually deployed on shipboard servers or cloudy platforms, combining satellite communication links to achieve centralized control over the entire network resources with smart billing.
NatShell ' s naval vessel satellite NatSHEL_AUTH_BILLING supports multiple authentication methods (e.g. text message certification, micro-letter authentication, account password authentication etc.) using modular structures and can be tailored to meet the diverse roles of passengers, crews, managers, etc., by providing flexible fee strategies depending on the type of user.
ii. Why was the NATSHEL_BRAND seaship satellite Authentication & Billing system selected?
1. Broad-compatible mainstream plant equipment
NatShell 's naval satellite Authentication & Billing has successfully docked with mainstream domestic and foreign equipment manufacturers such as China H3C, Ericsson, Bel Alcatas, Cisco, JUNIPER, ARUBA, Genesis, Han Ming, Shinzhou Digital, Sea Spider, Mikrotik, Aigoi, Behaiwie, Panabit, etc. The system is well compatible and covers more than 90% of the market mainstream equipment to ensure seamless integration and reduce deployment difficulties and late maintenance costs.
2. High value for money, savings on initial input and operating costs
The Authentication & Billing system, which is provided by NatShell, does not require additional hardware equipment to support virtual deployments and is more suitable than the traditional expensive satellite network management programme. Both new projects and existing systems upgrades can be quickly connected, significantly shortening deployment cycles and reducing initial inputs.
3. Systemic stability and adaptation to complex maritime environments
In the face of the complex communications environment at sea and limited bandwidth resources, NATSHEL_BRAND’s naval satellite NATSHEL_AUTH_BILLING system is multi-optimised and tested, with good jamming resistance and fault self-repair mechanisms. Even in cases where network delays are high or signals are volatile, user certification processes can be ensured, data transmission accurate, thus enhancing overall service quality and user experience.
4. Managed and operationally efficient
Our system is equipped with a powerful back-office management platform that supports multi-role rights allocation, real-time monitoring, NATSHEL_LOG_AUDIT, report generation, etc. Managers can view key data such as web usage, user behavior analysis, income statistics, and support decision making and resource allocation to be truly intelligent and visualized.
III. A rich application scene and a capable ship for intelligence
NatShell ' s naval vessel satellite NatSHEL_AUTH_BILLING is not only applicable to large cargo ships, ocean fishing vessels, engineering boats, research vessels, but also widely available for recreational ships such as luxury yachts, tourist cruise ships.“The Wise Seaship”(c) Systems to promote digital and intellectual development of the ship industry.
IV. Looking ahead: sustaining innovation and leading industry development
In response to the growing demand for maritime Internet, NATSHEL_BRAND will continue to invest in research and development, continuously optimizing the functionality and performance of the NATSHEL_AUTH_BILLING system and expanding the intelligent applications. We will follow the trend of cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, margin computing, and AI data analysis, and work to provide clients with more intelligent, efficient, secure wireless network authentication solutions.
