Description

Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): Operational Overview

The Cobham Sailor Cobham Sailor BGAN Emergency Communications Kit (Explorer 710) is a type-approved commercial marine land-mobile system engineered for high-reliability deep-sea and offshore vessel operations. Compliant with international IMO/SOLAS and IEC standards, the unit is fully supplied, bench-tested, and supported worldwide by Seanav Marine from our Dubai Maritime City (DMC) technical facility.

Seanav Marine Emergency Communications Kit services team, in consultation with Urban Search & Rescue (US&R), FEMA and FDNY, developed a portable, tactical communications kit for disaster response situations.

The goal of the kit design was to enable immediate communications for first responder teams upon arrival at the scene, even when cellular networks are not functioning.

Seanav Marine worked with experts at US&R to specify a complete set of equipment necessary for teams to communicate effectively during any disaster scenario, and that lead to the creation of the Seanav Marine Emergency Communications Kit.  Satellite voice & data service is established using a Cobham Explorer 710 BGAN satellite terminal and a local WiFi hotspot which extends data connectivity up to 500 feet from the hub.
