Provides for a rapid, economical system installation and certification
The GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) was developed to improve maritime radio communications, particularly those involving distress and safety, by using the most up-to-date communications technology. The A218x5 can be used in Sea Area 2, within the coverage of at least one MF coast station in which continuous DSC alerting is available, as defined by a Contracting Government (normally within 150 n.m.).
