C700 GMDSS
Safety Messaging and Safety Voice in a single product
The Intellian C700 GMDSS System prioritizes seafarer safety. A single press of the distress button on the Safety Display Terminal (or on our GMDSS Alarm Box, or GMDSS Alarm Unit) instantly alerts your specified Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Center (MRCC). The system provides immediate status updates, confirming your message has been received and read by the MRCC. Following this, the C700 GMDSS System automatically initiates a voice call to the MRCC, allowing the Officer of the Watch (OOW) to speak directly with rescue authorities.
Quick, easy installation
For seamless retrofit installations, should the new C700 GMDSS System differ in size from the equipment being replaced, our optional flush mounting plates are available. These expertly cover any existing openings or marks, ensuring a clean, professional finish on your vessel’s bridge with no visible gaps.
Accessories
The C700 GMDSS System includes a complete range of accessories to facilitate a vessel’s requirements. These include MED approved Power Supply Unit, Junction Box, GMDSS Alarm Button (single system), GMDSS Alarm Unit (multiple systems) and SSAS buttons. The System supports both serial and ethernet connections to the Bridge Navigation network.
