Wireless networking communications systems provider Silvus Technologies is collaborating with Al Seer Marine and Broadcast Solutions GmbH to strengthen Al Seer Marine’s Maritime Autonomous Center of Excellence – a hub for intelligent maritime solutions. 

Located in Al Seer Marine’s shipyard, featuring the world’s largest robotic arm-based 3D printer, dedicated training institute, and maritime maintenance facility in Abu Dhabi, the Center will provide government, industry, academia and private sector organizations from around the world with the opportunity to develop, test, and gain practical experience operating autonomous systems in the waters of the region. 

Leveraging Silvus’ advanced wireless network communication expertise, Al Seer Marine’s success in autonomous maritime platform development, and Broadcast Solutions’ depth of experience in systems integration, the Maritime Autonomous Center of Excellence is expected to rapidly become a world leading center for maritime solutions. 

As the Center’s principal communications technology partner, Silvus will provide wireless broadband network connectivity solutions for organizations accessing the Center. 

Broadcast Solutions will serve as the Center’s primary systems integration partner, working closely with participating organizations on solutions design, execution, and optimization.

“We are honored to join with Al Seer Marine and Broadcast Solutions in this collaborative endeavor to accelerate technology innovation and the art of what’s possible,” said Allen Johnston, Silvus Senior Director International Sales and Business Development. “We believe the Center will become an invaluable resource for system developers, industry partners, and end users.”

“Al Seer Marine continues to develop, build and deliver leading autonomous products and services throughout the region,” said Guy Neivens, CEO of Al Seer Marine. “Our organizations share common interests and values in providing the technologies that are needed in today’s world, while shaping those that will form tomorrow. We will continuously help key organizations sustain autonomous systems for the advancement of the UAE and regional partners through the combination of key innovative technologies and working closely with our strategic partners.”

“As a long-term Al Seer Marine and Silvus partner, we look forward to contributing our team’s expertise to foster growth and development within the UAE in this exciting sector,” said Peter Jakobsson, Business Development Director at Broadcast Solutions GmbH.
