Enhancing Naval Ship Connectivity with 5G NR mmWave Technology

Description/Abstract/Artist Statement

This research explores the enhancement of connectivity within the challenging indoor naval ship environment by employing 5G New Radio (NR) millimeter wave (mmWave) technology, aimed at delivering reliable and fast wireless connections where conventional methods falter. Altair Feko was utilized for electromagnetic simulations to model mmWave signal propagation, developing optimal placement strategies for 5G NR mmWave transceivers and ensuring comprehensive coverage with minimal signal loss. The initiative addresses the growing need for high-speed internet and robust communication systems, promising to support many users and applications by significantly increasing channel bandwidth and capacity. The results presented demonstrate that through careful planning and the application of 5G NR mmWave, it is possible to overcome the unique obstacles presented by naval ship interiors, paving the way for advanced maritime communication solutions.
