River information system for Romania
Mission critical dispatch and radio management systems specialist Omnitronics has deployed a number of DX-64 Radio Management Systems to manage voice communications across the 700km+ length of the Danube River in Romania.
To meet these large communication requirements, a network of radio operator positions and remote repeater sites were integrated across a vast geographic region using IP.
The system was commissioned by Transas. The DX‐64’s were integrated with Transas’ ATIS (Automatic Transmitter Identification System), and include advanced automatic failover measures for remote operators and a customised voting solution.
Simon Baldacchio, regional business development manager, Shore Based Systems from Transas said: “On behalf of the Transas project team I would like to thank Omnitronics for delivering a state of the art VHF management solution for the Romania RIS project, a solution specifically designed to meet particular requirements of inland navigation.”
“This is a great example of how standard Omnitronics technology can be adapted and reengineered to suit a very specific marine application, added Omnitronics CEO John Florenca. “Omnitronics worked closely with Transas, from start to finish, to design and implement a solution that met all of the requirements of the project.
“The system is based on proven technology but also incorporates a number of sophisticated enhancements. The result is a River Information System that provides the highest levels of safety and efficiency to end users.”
