Why we work with few manufacturers
A network on a vessel, in a substation or on a construction site has to run for years, through salt water, vibration, heat and constantly changing links. That takes hardware we know in detail, and manufacturers who deliver support, firmware and spare parts across the whole lifecycle.
That is why DRYNET focuses on a small number of technology partners. For each of them we bring project experience, trained engineers and a direct line to the manufacturer. As Peplink Gold Partner for Germany and certified Fortinet Engage Partner, authorised to sell and integrate, we bring the connectivity layer and the security layer together from one source. With Starlink we are the integrator, not the reseller: hardware and service plans come through our partner Tototheo; consulting, installation and network integration come from DRYNET.
Manufacturer websites explain products. We explain which combination works in your environment, and we run it afterwards if you want us to.
- Trained engineers per manufacturer
- Configured and tested in Kiel before delivery
- One contact for hardware, configuration and operations
Connectivity: routers, satellite, cellular
The layer that gets your sites, vessels and teams online in the first place.
Peplink – Gold Partner
Multi-WAN routers, MAX Domes for vessels, the BR1 series for vehicles and cases, SpeedFusion for bonding and hot failover, InControl2 for fleet operations. The core of our hybrid connectivity work.
Starlink – integration via partner Tototheo
DRYNET is not a Starlink reseller. We source Starlink hardware and service plans through our partner Tototheo; we advise on satellite communication, install and commission the terminals and integrate Starlink into your network. Ashore and on board: mounting, failover to 4G/5G via Peplink SpeedFusion, VPN, monitoring. Also for a limited period through our rental service. Starlink is a trademark of SpaceX.
Satellite communication: Starlink, Amazon Leo, IRIS²
We advise on Starlink, Amazon Leo and IRIS² (as of September 2026) and bundle LEO capacity with 4G/5G, and 6G in future, into one failover-capable network via Peplink SpeedFusion. We integrate Amazon Leo and IRIS² once they become available.
Intellian & Iridium
Satellite communication for regions without LEO coverage, for polar voyages and as a second channel on board. We know Intellian and Iridium from projects and integrate them into the ship network when you want them.
Teltonika
Industrial 4G/5G routers for vehicles, sensors and small sites when a compact, cost-efficient router is enough and no bonding is required. We know them from projects and integrate them.
Security: firewall, segmentation, remote access
Fortinet – certified Engage Partner
As a certified Fortinet Engage Partner we are authorised to sell and integrate: FortiGate firewalls including rugged models for OT and vessels, FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer and FortiClient/ZTNA. We design, sell, install and operate, the technical basis for NIS2 requirements at shipping companies, utilities and ports.
Cisco
Switching and network infrastructure on board and at your sites where customer standards or existing environments call for Cisco. We know Cisco from projects and integrate it, without a formal partnership.

What we deliver beyond the manufacturer
A router on its own solves nothing. The value comes from network design, installation, configuration and operations. This is where DRYNET starts:
- Design: the link mix of satellite, 4G/5G and fixed line for your use case, see Hybrid Connectivity.
- Installation: engineers on site in Kiel, on board and at your locations in Germany and Europe.
- Operations: monitoring, firmware, licences and incident handling through our Managed Services.
- Compliance: documentation and evidence for NIS2, IACS UR E26/E27 and customer audits, see Compliance & Regulations.
For critical-infrastructure operators in energy, for media productions and for construction companies running camera surveillance, we turn this into standardised packages that roll out fast.
Buy, rent or have it operated
Several routes to the same technology, depending on how long and how intensively you need it.
Buy via FunkRitter
Order individual devices and accessories from funkritter.de, the B2B online shop of DRYNET GmbH.
Project quote
For fleets, sites and rollouts we prepare a quote covering hardware, installation and configuration.
Rent
Starlink terminals, Peplink Domes and SKYPACK 5G for a season, a refit, a campaign or an event: rental service.
Managed service
We operate the solution, monitor it and respond to incidents, with 24/7 support when you need it.
Frequently asked questions about our technology partners
Is DRYNET a reseller or an integrator?
Both, with one exception. We sell Peplink and Fortinet hardware through funkritter.de and as part of projects. With Starlink we are purely the integrator: hardware and service plans come through our partner Tototheo. In every case the focus is on design, installation and operations: making sure the technology runs reliably in your environment.
What does Peplink Gold Partner mean?
Peplink awards partner levels to companies that demonstrate certifications, project experience and support capability. As Gold Partner for Germany, DRYNET supplies Peplink hardware, licences and support from one source and works directly with the manufacturer.
Do I get warranty and support from one source?
Yes. Manufacturer warranty, licence and maintenance renewals (for example Peplink Care plans or SpeedFusion licences) and technical support all run through DRYNET. You do not have to deal with the manufacturer yourself.
What is DRYNET's role with Starlink?
DRYNET is not a Starlink reseller. We source Starlink hardware and service plans through our partner Tototheo; we advise on satellite communication, install and commission the terminals and integrate Starlink into your network. On request we also provide terminals including a plan for a limited period through our rental service. Starlink is a trademark of SpaceX. Availability of Starlink services is subject to the provider's terms for the respective area of use.
Do you also advise on Amazon Leo and IRIS²?
Yes. Amazon Leo (formerly Project Kuiper) is in enterprise beta with commercial service announced for 2026; around 400 satellites are in orbit, and regions and terms for Europe are not yet fixed. IRIS² is the EU constellation for secure connectivity with 348 satellites in LEO and MEO, with first launches planned for 2029 (as of September 2026). We do not sell either today, but we advise on how to bundle LEO capacity with 4G/5G and later 6G into a failover-capable network, and we integrate Amazon Leo and IRIS² once available. More on our satellite communication page.
Why Peplink and Fortinet together?
Peplink keeps the connection stable (multi-WAN, SpeedFusion), Fortinet secures it (firewall, segmentation, remote access). Keeping both layers separate makes audits easier and changes traceable. For both manufacturers we are a certified partner and deliver hardware, configuration and operations from one source.
What is the difference between BRYTE and Peplink SpeedFusion?
SpeedFusion bonds links and switches over on failure. BRYTE adds visibility, standard configurations and reporting across many sites or vessels. You can combine both or use only one.
Does DRYNET support NIS2 compliance?
Yes. Germany's NIS2 implementation act (NIS2UmsuCG) with the amended BSI Act was promulgated in the Federal Law Gazette on 5 December 2025 and has been in force since 6 December 2025; the BSI's registration grace period for affected entities ended on 31 July 2026, so entities not yet registered should do so without delay (as of 22 Sep 2026). We deliver the technical measures: segmentation, remote access, monitoring, documentation, see NIS2. Whether and how your company is in scope is a question for your legal advisers.
Do you deliver outside Germany?
Yes. We install on board in European ports and at sites across Europe. For deployments outside the EU we check export rules and plan coverage in advance.
