The company Royal Caribbean Cruise Line A/S ordered the largest-ever cruise ship with a capacity of 5,400 passengers. It is 360 m long, 47 m wide, and the highest point is 65 m above waterline. 3,000 cabins for the passengers are equipped with CEA-709 based room automation controllers to assure an optimal room climate.
LOYTEC’s L-IP Redundant CEA-709/IP router was chosen to set up an IP-852 (Ethernet/IP) channel as a backbone for high speed communication. In addition, the L-IP Redundant CEA-709/IP router allows to build a redundant network infrastructure, monitor the room controller, and detect broken network cables. This enables short reaction times in case of failure and thus provides more comfort for the passengers to enjoy the journey.
