The Smart Communication Solution for the Maritime Industry
Digitization offers many opportunities to the maritime market. With the digital transformation of this industry, there is growing need for a reliable, stable and fast infrastructure that makes real-time data exchange possible.
Maritime facilities, oil rigs and ships are exposed to harsh environmental conditions that are fundamentally different from those on land and very challenging, namely large temperature fluctuations, high humidity and high salinity in the air. Explosive environments and constant vibrations also place very great demands on technical products, which must be robust enough to withstand these conditions over a longer period of time.
innovaphone: Certified for Use in Maritime Environments
DNV (Det Norske Veritas)1 is one of several organisations which carries out offshore certifications. A device that has been approved by DNV is suitable for use in such environments and can withstand shocks, moisture and vibrations.
Certain innovaphone products, which have been granted the globally recognised DNV approval, formerly DNV GL, can be used without reservations on high seas. innovaphone thus fully meets and guarantees the high standards required for operational safety and functionality in the maritime industry.
The innovaphone VoIP gateway IP811 and the analog adapter IP29-8 underwent a rigorous test procedure for certification. In addition, the all-round IP111 telephone and the IPVA can be used as long as the servers are suitable for use in the maritime sector.
innovaphone Offers Solutions for all Maritime Sectors:
- (Industrial) shipping
- Offshore sites such as oil rigs and wind turbines
- Onshore sites such as ship docks or lighthouses
- Ferries
- Cruise ships
- Fishing boats
- Hospital ships
- Navy operations
- Coastal departments to keep in touch with the ships
The innovaphone myApps collaboration platform enables users to make their own applications, such as cruise shipping tools, e.g., wake up calls or entertainment programs, engine room monitoring apps, and much more.
innovaphone also has a unique master-slave concept for shipping companies with fleets. Each boat has its own local innovaphone gateway which handles internal communication. And, the shipping companies are also connected to a common cloud solution. The PBX connects the local switchboards to enable internal calls between the ships and to the shipping company to be made via VoIP. The PBX is used for configuration and maintenance purposes, thus ensuring all local switchboards are up to date.
