INTELLIGENT NETWORK ACCESS FOR MODERN SUPER YACHTS
ECHO
A must-have tool for ETOS and engineers
ECHO is YachtCloud’s network and streaming management solution, designed specifically for yachts. It gives owners, guests, and crew a smooth onboard experience, while keeping full control exactly where it belongs.
What is ECHO?
ECHO is a smart and unique onboard system that manages:
- Who can connect to the yacht’s network
- Which network segment they are assigned to
- Which audio and video streaming devices they can use
Unlike traditional Wi-Fi setups, access is not based on passwords alone. Every device is identified, approved and managed, calmly and invisibly for the best user-experience. In that process the streaming devices are assigned to a single device, automatically or manually.
Secure • Simple • Streamlined
Why is ECHO essential onboard?
Without ECHO
- Sharing Wi-Fi passwords means uncontrolled access for users.
- Everyone sees every streaming device, on only the ones limited to their network segment.
- Crew easily lose track of connected devices, no control.
- Countless Wi-Fi networks visible, impairing the network performance.
- Wired network access is restricted to the configured segment, or not allowed.
With ECHO
- Wi-Fi password sharing does not result in network access.
- Users only see what streaming devices they are meant to see.
- Streaming areas stay private and assigned flexibly.
- Access can be added or removed per device.
- Crew retain full visibility and control of devices connected to the network.
- Changes to user device access are easily made.
- Wired network access is flexible, based on device parameters.
One visible Wi-Fi, structured behind the scenes
Guests connect to a single Wi-Fi network.
Behind the scenes, however, ECHO assigns each device to the correct environment, e.g., guest, crew, owner, or operations. This keeps the experience simple for guests and structured for the yacht.
Fast Pass: seamless access for Owners & VIPs
The Fast Pass feature is designed for owners and key guests who expect instant connectivity
- No registration pages
- No vouchers
- No waiting
Devices connect immediately and only see their streaming devices
Guest & Temporary Access
A self-service arrival, not a front-desk queue
Guests and temporary workers don’t need crew to hand-configure their access. They log in through a self-service registration portal, or connect using a time-sensitive voucher that expires automatically after a set period, so there’s no manual cleanup once a charter or visit ends.
Privacy without a shared password
Access can be granted through privacy-safe, pre-approved codes rather than a single network password everyone knows. It keeps control with the crew, without adding friction for the guest.
For Owners & Guests
- ECHO removes friction from connectivity and makes everything feel intuitive.
- A seamless digital experience that “just works” from the moment you step onboard.
- Instant connection without complicated login .processes.
For Crew
- Simple approvals, or direct access.
- Clear visibility in connected devices.
- Instant device control, easy administration.
- Delegated access for support staff.
- Less intervention, fewer support requests.
- Crew offboarding, handled instantly, when crew leave, their devices can be removed or blocked immediately, with no need to change the network code for everyone else.
For Integrator
- A centralised, practical control layer that simplifies network management.
- Reduced support effort.
- Reduced troubleshooting time.
- Delegated control, selected crew can manage access without risk.
Device Overview Dashboard
One dashboard, every device
ECHO gives crew a centralised, at-a-glance view of every registered device, organised per network segment: guest, crew, owner, or operations. Rather than checking multiple systems or asking around, one dashboard shows exactly what’s connected, and to what.
