Maritime security is needed proactive and automated preventive approach to minimize the probability of threats and damages to the integrity of the offshore assets. However, to provide round the clock marine surveillance is confronted several challenges for technical equipment onboard including vibration, high voltages, RFI (Radio Frequency Immunity) and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility). Other harsh conditions often found on maritime & offshore such as extreme operating temperatures, high humidity and corrosion, high shock and vibration, and where protection from EMI or RFI is required. Hence, to establish a reliable security system for offshore and maritime environments, a reliable, highly efficient Ethernet network is essential to handle all video, voice, and data transmission requirements.
Volktek's industrial Ethernet switches have been fully tested and certified by DNV (Det Norske Veritas) allowing them to be used within harsh and challenging marine environments to provide 24/7 surveillance with utmost reliability.
