Safety at sea means staying connectedEven though everything on your boat is well maintained and in good

working order, you’ve got to be sure that you’re safe, and that means

receiving the correct navigational information as well being able to

send out a distress signal in case of emergency.

FURUNO offers a complete line of communications equipment to

keep you connected to others, including AIS, single- or multi-station

radiotelephones, NAVTEX receivers, weather facsimile and Inmarsat

mobile earth stations. Our broad range of communications equipment

offers recreational boaters the same quality and reliability chosen by

the commercial maritime community.

The FA-30 AIS Receiver helps to enhance situational awareness by receiving critical navigation data from other AIS-equipped vessels. The FA-30 outputs AIS data to NavNet 3D as well as to a PC via Ethernet connection. The FA-30 can also be interfaced with your FURUNO Radar or Chart Plotter.

The FA-150 is a Universal AIS Transponder capable of exchanging navigation and ship data between own ship and other ships or coastal stations. The FA-150 consists of a transponder unit and a compact display unit with 4.5" Silver Bright Display designed to accommodate a simple and space-saving installation with a user-friendly ergonomic design. The FA-150 complies with relevant international regulations and standards, such as IMO, ITU-R, and IEC.

What is AIS?

AIS, or Automatic Identification System, improves the safety of boating by exchanging information about the status of your own vessel with other AIS-equipped vessels. The system utilizes VHF broadcasts to share information about the navigational situation, including nav data from individual vessels as well as buoys and other aids to navigation. AIS data includes position, course, and speed over ground, allowing you to foresee course changes of specific targets. Because AIS uses VHF rather than line of sight, AIS targets are constantly visible, even when they are shrouded in darkness or fog, or hidden behind capes, bends or other obstructions.

InmarsatSatellites

SafeComNet is FURUNO’s new satellite-based broadband communication solution using Inmarsat FleetBroadband and Ku-band VSAT.

In recent years, Information Technology has grown and developed in the marine sector and vessel owners have requested greater

access to communications, email and Internet facilities aboard their ships.

In response to this trend, satellite technology providers have developed FleetBroadband and VSAT as components of their network

infrastructure to facilitate the link between vessels and onshore. FleetBroadband delivers a broadband service of up to 432 kbps

around the globe with moderate communication fees, while VSAT delivers a broadband service with speeds up to 1 Mbps. This is

comparable to the communication speed we enjoy

every day at the office or at home. While the hardware

costs are higher, VSAT offers a flat monthly rate,

“Always-on” network onboard, bringing the vessels

network environment up to speeds comparable to what

we are accustomed to onshore.

Safety and efficiency of navigation have become

increasingly dependent upon IT-based communication

and with increasing demands to enhance crew welfare

onboard the vessels, the need to bring the IT network

environment onboard the vessels has risen. Our

answer to these market needs is a broadband network

infrastructure onboard the vessels, provided through

SafeComNet.

Through SafeComNet, FURUNO will not only supply a

wide range of navigation products but will also deliver

airtime, applications and worldwide service and support

as an all-inclusive solution package.

LCR (Least Cost Routing)

LCR is the process of selecting the path of communications traffic based on cost, allowing for automatic selection of the most cost-efficient communication line available. It is possible to set VSAT, which

is charged by monthly fixed flat rate, as the default communication means, and switch over to “pay-as-you-go” FleetBroadband whenever the VSAT line is out. This way, total cost for communicatoin can be reduced.

Traffic ControlTraffic control is the control of computer network traffic to optimize performance of communication. This can be achieved by setting order of priority for data to be handled (Quality of Service: QoS)�, and

restricting the volume of communication at a time, applications to be used as well as access to certain contents.

FirewallA firewall is designed to permit or deny network transmissions to protect networks against unauthorized access by malware from the public Internet, i.e., computer viruses and keyloggers, while permitting

legitimate communications to pass.

IP RoutingIP routing is a set of protocols to facilitate IP connection between onboard network and the public Internet.

VPNVPN (Virtual Private Network)� is a secure way of connecting to onshore office network from a remote location, using the Internet. Since encryption is applied to the communication, the network data

packets can be transported privately, preventing unauthorized users from reading the private network packets. This way, the same network environment as onshore offices can be constructed onboard vessels. Compared with using exclusive circuit services to construct secure network between vessels and onshore offices, VPN has the advantage of reducing communication cost.

IP PBXIP PBX is a PBX for IP telephones utilizing IP network, unlike PABX commonly used for analog telephone network. The system is designed to interoperate with the conventional PABX, onboard public addressor

system as well as VoIP of Inmarsat and VSAT.
