Ship with a data network

Abstract

A ship includes a network, integrating services for security and control services and/or for multimedia and infotainment services on board the ship. The service-integrating network includes services for security-related systems as well as services for non-security-related systems. The conventional situation for network solutions on board cruise ships is characterised by a number of service functions and individual networks distributed over the entire ship. In at least one embodiment, the service-integrating network is embodied as a redundant ring both for services for security-relevant systems as well as for services for non-security-related systems. As such, the number of security functions and service functions and the number of individual networks can be advantageously reduced to a common high-security network.
