LYNGBY,
Denmark - Launched at SMM 2012, Cobham SATCOM made its new
standalone SAILOR Class A AIS available to order in April 2013. The
SAILOR 6280/81
AIS System is a 'black box' solution with flexible installation
possibilities and features contemporary touch screen operation
through the new SAILOR 6004 Control Panel.
Designed and built to the same fundamental qualities that have
made SAILOR such a respected name in maritime communication, the
black box design of the SAILOR 6280/81 AIS
System enables simple installation and operation as a
standalone navigation aid or part of an Integrated Navigation
System (INS). Installation is easy; just install the black box
transponder wherever convenient and connect it via LAN (using the
sophisticated Lightweight Ethernet protocol) to the SAILOR 6004
Control Panel.
Continuing the pioneering use of touch screen operation of
maritime communications equipment started with the SAILOR 6006
Message Terminal, which is part of the industry leading SAILOR 6000
GMDSS Series, the new SAILOR AIS features a touch interface
familiar to users of modern smartphones and tablets. Operation is
straightforward and intuitive; simply activate a function by
tapping the corresponding icon on the display. Specific functions
open quickly and smoothly, providing a seamless user
experience.
Both the SAILOR 6280 AIS System and SAILOR 6281 AIS
Basic System feature the ThraneLINK application interface,
which provides facility for easy servicing via the Thrane
Management Application (TMA). Servicing is also supported by the
sophisticated built in diagnostic system whilst a a 'Pilot Plug'
enables pilots to easily interface with the system. Both versions
come with everything needed for installation, including the SAILOR
6004 Control Panel and an active GPS antenna with built-in DC
output on the connector and possibility for single-antenna
installation (Common VHF and GPS).
Designed for all commercial vessels required under SOLAS to
carry Class A AIS, SAILOR 6280/81 AIS System is
also river use compliant, meeting the CCNR requirements (Central
Commission for navigation on the Rhine). The SAILOR 6280/81
AIS System works with both GPS and GLONASS and supports
messages for Long Range Satellite tracking on channel 75 &
channel 76.
First delivery of SAILOR 6280/81 AIS System is
expected June 2013.
