      abstract = {A typical warship has thousands of sensors. Sensor input  is key for the ability of the ship to float as well as to  carry out all practical operations at sea. Live readings of  multiple sensors are visualized and processed by personnel  at the bridge to take decisions. Digitization of sensor  data enable ability to use high end computers for complex  analysis of sensor data using Artificial Intelligence  algorithms. Storage and monitoring capability of historical  sensor data helps predictive and preventive maintenance of  all the equipment onboard the ship thereby enhancing safety  and operational efficiency. Hierarchical private IOT cloud  setup on each ship can do wonders in rapid expansion and  deployment of IOT applications and data analytics.  Important sensor data shall be connected to Private IOT  cloud over Internet Protocol (IP). Wireless Local Area  Network (LAN) infrastructure reduces the amount of cabling  required in ships thereby bringing down the cable density  in the ducts and easy maintenance. While the displays at  the bridge continue to focus on critical parameters,  connected smart phone applications for accessing and  visualizing the sensor data improves the comfort level of  ship crew to access data and enhance operational  efficiency.

This paper focus on choice of 5G NR technology  for setting up of machine-to-machine communication  infrastructure. 5G NR offers large density of sensor nodes,  quality of service parameters and secured communication.  How the 5G user end device ecosystem offers low cost and  low power wide area network (LPWAN) can be exploited for  addressing the sensor network onboard ship. The evolving  5GNR standards has an immense potential to transform sensor  network, smarter ways of accessing data and enable AI/ML  algorithms for analysing sensor data.
