The system is comprised of over 70 sites, 28 multi-channel line-of-sight links, 34 self-supported towers, 102 hot-standby VHF repeaters, and operator consoles at 8 sector headquarters stations. The system also includes solar power systems for the remote sites, an automatic number identification system with CRT displays, voice security, and alarm reporting displays.
Design
and Construction of a Shipboard Communications Center.
ProCom provided the design and construction of a complete shipboard
communications center for the SS Marrakech under a turn-key contract from the
Government of Morocco. The communications center involved several systems
including multiple VSAT terminals, INMARSAT satellite terminals, UHF and VHF
ship-to-shore radio communications, marine radio communications, HF radio,
message handling terminals, facsimile, encryption, operator consoles, and TV
satellite reception systems.
