The SAILOR Iridium SSAS solution is based on a dedicated Iridium SSAS box designed to be used along with the SAILOR SC4000 Iridium system. The solution is designed to be cost-effective, easy to install, user-friendly and reliable. The SAILOR Iridium SSAS box is dedicated to the alert system, but the SAILOR SC4000 Iridium terminal can also be used for standard Iridium features, such as voice and data communication.
When one of the alert buttons is activated, an alert is generated and transmitted through the SAILOR SC4000 Iridium system. The alert includes the identification of the vessel and its position. The alert is delivered through the Iridium satellite system and directed to the recipient from the Iridium Gateway as an e-mail or ordinary SMS to pre-defined recipients, according to the vessel’s ISPS code. One typical recipient is the Research and Rescue Centre in the vessel’s country of registration. The alert is transmitted continuously at a pre-defined interval until deactivated.
