Marine Communication has undergone incredible changes  since the last century. In the main, semaphore and flags have been updated by Electronic telecommunications, although they are still used when necessary or when ceremony calls.

Radio telegraphy  brought about a dramatic change in communication and the Marine section benefited as much as any other sector requiring distance communication.. 

From the beginning of the last century, ships started fitting radio for communicating distress signals. Morse code was used in the early part of the twentieth century for marine communication.

In the seventies, with the advancements made, the IMO brought about a system where ship-to-ship or ship-to-shore communication was put into action with some degree of automation.

Marine communication between ships or shore was enabled with the help of on board systems through shore stations. While ship-to-ship communication was brought about by VHF radio, Digital Selective Calling (DSC) came up with digitally remote control commands to transmit or receive distress alert, urgent or safety calls, or routine priority messages. DSC controllers can now be integrated with the VHF radio as per SOLAS (Safety Of Life at Sea) convention.

Whatever the method the  correct antennae configuration is paramount and at Renair we have ready made solutions.

So, whether you are a small fish in a big pond hunting the big fish or on a peacekeeping mission as part of a large fleet of Naval ships, Communication and Navigation is the Key and Renair Antennae make the Connections.
