Key Features

SnakeCrew offers a comprehensive and independent communication solution, providing secure and flexible internet access tailored to the needs of maritime crews.

Autonomous Operation

Hosted on the SnakeBox, SnakeCrew operates independently from existing shipboard networks, ensuring seamless functionality without interfering with other systems. This autonomy allows for uninterrupted service regardless of the ship's infrastructure.

Easy Access

SnakeCrew supports connectivity through any mobile device, tablet, or desktop PC. Utilizing the SnakeBox's standard Wi-Fi router, users can easily authenticate and manage their accounts via a simple captive portal, ensuring hassle-free access.

Comprehensive Control

Administrators can manage user accounts with ease, offering both automatic and manual crediting options. Flexible top-up schedules and voucher systems empower administrators to tailor internet access to specific needs and conditions.

Enhanced Security

Integrating with the SnakeWall firewall feature, SnakeCrew restricts traffic to essential services like WhatsApp and Twitter, optimizing bandwidth usage. This ensures secure and efficient communication even in bandwidth-limited environments.

Hybrid Ready

By combining SnakeCrew with SnakeWall and the SnakeSwitch routing service, administrators can define dynamic firewall rules that adapt to available bandwidth, maintaining optimal performance across varying network conditions.
