Taiwan’s Datong World Technology, in partnership with container carrier Yang Ming and satellite provider Shenbo, has completed deployment of an integrated satellite 5G and AI applications platform on Yang Ming’s operating vessels. The solution merges high‑ and low‑orbit satellite links, shore‑based mobile networks and onboard 5G/Wi‑Fi to support remote monitoring, drone‑based inspections and fully digital voyage and fleet management.

Datong World Technology in Taiwan has announced completion of a major maritime digitalization project with Yang Ming Marine Transport and satellite communications firm Shenbo, under a national AI infrastructure program. The partners have equipped operating Yang Ming vessels with an integrated satellite 5G network and a cloud‑based digital applications platform designed for offshore use. The system combines high‑ and low‑earth‑orbit satellite connectivity with coastal public mobile networks, while onboard 5G and Wi‑Fi provide resilient broadband access and real‑time data transmission between ship and shore.
