ConnectPoint

How it works

From field power to sealed record

Proof of Evidence starts with a portable network and power case — connecting your inspection equipment into one protected interior, then into a sealed inspection record others can examine later.

Portable network & power

Protected interior

An open rugged case organizes power, radios, and network links so field gear can join one protected path — from lid storage to the color-coded I/O edge.

Lid interior

  • Regional AC cords

    EU · UK · US leads with a shared industrial case-end connector.

  • Antenna storage

    Dedicated foam bay for field antennas when the lid is sealed.

  • Cable storage

    Starlink and Fieldlink runs coiled and ready for deployment.

  • Lid display housing

    Protected recess for the monitoring display when the case is open.

Case body

  • 768 Wh battery

    Integrated BMS with a regulated 24 V bus for connected gear.

  • Electronics service access

    Sealed cover for service without disturbing the packed lid.

  • Antenna ports

    Capped exterior ports on both sides for rapid RF hookup.

  • Pressure & cooling vents

    Water-resistant membrane and rain-protected side-wall cooling.

Front I/O panel

Color-coded edge groups keep power, uplink, Fieldlink, inspection gear, and WAN input distinct at a glance.

  • Power input

    • AC IN 100–240 V

  • Starlink

    • 24 V DC OUT
    • Ethernet IN

  • Fieldlink

    • 24 V DC OUT
    • LAN OUT

  • Inspection equipment

    • LAN OUT
    • 24 V DC OUT
    • USB-A 5 V
    • USB-C 5 V

  • Internet input

    • LAN IN / WAN

Field-ready packing

Electronics closed

With electronics sealed, the case still exposes status, antennas, and front ports — while lid leads and the hybrid reel stay organized for the next job.

  1. 01

    Hybrid cable reel

    Heavy-duty drum for hybrid field cable — ready to pay out and recover.

  2. 02

    Closed electronics compartment

    Sealed metal housing for the network and power electronics stack.

  3. 03

    Separate closed Wi‑Fi storage

    Dedicated bay beneath the electronics box for Wi‑Fi hardware.

  4. 04

    Starlink connection monitor

    Status display for uplink health — software integration required.

  5. 05

    Power / Wi‑Fi / BLE indicators

    At-a-glance LEDs for power, wireless, and Bluetooth Low Energy.

  6. 06

    External BLE antenna

    Stubby side-mount antenna for nearby device pairing in the field.

Lid packing

  • AC leads — EU / UK / US

    Regional mains leads nested in foam for international deployment.

  • 5 m CAT6 — Starlink

    Industrial RJ45 to standard RJ45 run for the Starlink path.

Front ports

  • AC input

    110–220 V AC charge and shore power.

  • Starlink Ethernet

    Protected ethernet port with dust cap.

  • Drum fiber + 54 V DC

    Hybrid circular connector for fiber and DC on the reel path.

Confined-space coverage

Temporary Tank / WiFi Setup

Strap a temporary access point inside the vessel — worker, drone, and kit stay on one local link while the hatch stays the light path out.

  • Temporary attachment to ladder

    Cable ties secure the access point to ladder rail for rapid temporary coverage.

  • Cable-tied mounting ears

    Side flanges give a clean strap path without permanent fixtures.

  • Removable hybrid cable

    Industrial hybrid run plugs into the base — power and data, then pulls free.

Field capture to sealed evidence

Modular product boxes, connected in gutters: on-body capture → Wi‑Fi hub → Starlink → satellite → server → sealed record for remote viewers.

Dedicated inspection network

Independent of vessel IT / OT networks

Architecture intent: keep survey traffic on ConnectPoint’s own path — not bridged into ship systems.

Safeguards across the evidence chain

Equivalent survey assurance · intent

Remote classification needs the same care as on-site survey. Follow the product-box safeguards path — device, link, server, sealed record — as design direction, not certified claims.
