Watercraft Emergency Broadcast System

The maritime safety market is increasingly focused on enhancing communication and emergency response systems for watercrafts. With growing safety concerns at sea and stricter regulations, there is a significant demand for reliable and scalable emergency broadcast systems. Traditional systems often lack integration of modern communication technology and suffer from limited scalability, reducing their effectiveness in critical situations.

This design addresses these challenges by integrating LTE Cat-M1/NB1/NB2 communication standards, ensuring reliable communication in remote and challenging maritime environments. It includes Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) connectivity for precise tracking and positioning, an intuitive human machine interface (HMI), system encryption for secure transmission, as well as touch control and alarm sounds. The use of a high-performance MCU utilizing the Arm^® ecosystem ensures efficient system control, superior scalability, and simplified maintenance, while the incorporation of Renesas power devices maximizes uptime by facilitating adaptive solar charging and efficient battery management systems.

System Benefits:

• 120MHz high-performance MCU provides robust processing power, ensuring reliable operation, secure communication, and an intuitive user interface in critical emergency scenarios.
• GNSS capability allows for precise location tracking and accurate positioning using multiple satellite constellations, enhancing the effectiveness of search and rescue operations.,
• High-performance power devices for solar charging and battery management systems, including maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and battery control algorithms, maximize energy efficiency and ensure continuous system operation.
