LYNGBY, Denmark - The new SAILOR
6390/91 Navtex System from Cobham SATCOM is now available to
order. As a black box system, with separate touch screen
user-interface, the SAILOR 6390/91 Navtex
System introduces a new approach that enhances safety and
efficiency, whilst being fully GMDSS compliant as a standalone
device or part of a SAILOR 6000 GMDSS Series installation. SAILOR
6390/91 Navtex follows the recently released SAILOR 6280/81
AIS System, as the second product group in a new series of 100%
network integrated SAILOR products.
The SAILOR 6391 Navtex
System consists of the SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver
(available separately), which receives Navtex messages on the
international Navtex frequencies 490 kHz, 518 kHz and 4209.5 kHz,
and the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel, a 7" touch screen that provides
excellent viewing clarity in all light conditions so all messages
can be seen and understood. Modular design means that the receiver
can be installed anywhere on board whilst the control panel can be
placed anywhere on the bridge. They are linked by dual LAN (NMEA
also included), so communication between the two is highly
reliable, but installation is flexible. The networking aspect also
gives engineers access to all devices from a single point, which
makes maintenance and software upgrades easy and more
cost-efficient.
Whilst the SAILOR 6390 Navtex Receiver can be used as a
standalone receiver and networked with any Integrated Navigation
System (INS), the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel is designed to be used
with other (forthcoming) devices and the available SAILOR 628x AIS
System. It is a true multifunction display, with a familiar
touch screen interface, where the user simply selects the app icon
required for access and control of the device chosen. By enabling
operation of different devices, the SAILOR 6004 Control Panel
introduces cost-efficiencies whilst making operation easier, and
therefore, safer.
"We initially revealed our new Navtex at SMM 2012 and interest
has been building ever since, so we are pleased to announce that it
is now available to order," comments Casper Jensen, VP Maritime
Business, Cobham SATCOM. "In addition to offering a new approach
for Navtex, through its network integration capabilities, touch
screen interface and black box design, the SAILOR
6391 Navtex System is of course built to the well-known
SAILOR high standards, so users can be confident in the reliability
of this vital piece of GMDSS equipment."
