Based on Multiservice Digital Network Environment Wärtsilä SAM Electronics
Times and Technology are Changing From the beginning of the millennium the technology for entertainment and security systems moved from standalone two wire solutions to all integrated Ethernet network systems. Since then we were continuously developing, in close cooperation with our longtime suppliers, an integrated solution based on Ethernet network to the demands of commercial ships. During this development we learned that an Ethernet network platform and the wide range of available applications and its scalability results in a product which can be used from standard commercial ships up to the biggest offshore vessels and also could also be used for mega yachts. After more than ten years of experience we are proud that we have supplied our system to a big number of container ships, bulkers, offshore wind mill jack-up vessels, the biggest ever offshore platform removal vessel and the longest mega yachts. The Ethernet system is an open platform which gives us the possibility to easily provide customized solutions as a turnkey package to our customers. In general our solution is based on the following technologies: n Ethernet network form flat 12 ports single switch to high performance redundant layer- 3 networks with much more than thousand ports n Office PC solutions in close cooperation with the customers IT-deparment n Connection to the World Wide Web and email accounts via FBB, VSAT, Iridium, GSM n Mobile on board communication such as GSM, DECT, WiFi networks for data and voice communication including interfaces to classic VHF/UHF systems n Public and in-cabin entertainment comprising IP-TV and Video on Demand services viewing by the crews laptops or via TV-Sets which only have a power and an Ethernet socket n Voice over IP based telephone and talk back systems also for high dangerous areas. Optional intergaration of high quality video conferencing n Master-Clock systems as IP solution including network time protocol servers so that the PC clocks and ship time is always synchronized. For security and operations we than add the following n IP based HD CCTV Camera systems from one hundreds of cameras and control stations. n Thermal cameras with dual purpose for security and navigational assistance n Door and access control using all kind of available sensors such as radar, deck pressure and infrared. n Special small target, ice and oil spill detection radars in addition to the navigational ones. n Sonars for navigation support and a 360 diver detection. n Disorientating lasers for non-lethal defense n Fire detection and safety management system n A commercial of the shelf own developed command and control center integrating all of the above listed security systems to one simple user interface including decision support.

Benefits of Integrated Network Solutions Integrated network solutions are configurable to provide systems comparable to classic solutions or can provide more features in accordance with the available budget. The main benefits of an integrated network solution are: Ease of Use (self-explanatory) Network applications and hardware are manageable via web interfaces. This permits system appliances such as VoIP (telephone), Master clock, Entertainment (TV and Video), CCTV, network switches etc. are all controllable and configurable from any networked PC protected by administrator password. Remote Maintenance Systems available via web-interface can be monitored and controlled via communication links to shore. Standardised Network Products and Protocols The usage of common products using standard network protocols enables integrated network systems flexibility to add any Ethernet based application dependant upon available bandwidth. These systems will always be state-of-theart when delivered. Crew Welfare and Passenger Services Whether crew or passengers, services such as Internet, E-mail and live Television at sea enhance our comfort and communication with those ashore. Integrated network solutions provide these features from as little as only one Ethernet RJ45 socket and a PC onboard. Cable and Weight Reduction All network applications can use the same physical network separated by simple virtual LANs. This reduces dramatically the total required cable length, number of cable types and total cable weight. Transponder Wizard - Web-Interface for easy administration of distributed TV programs Flexibility A network port can be easily changed from one application to another e.g. an office PC port, a telephone VoIP port a Slave Clock port or other similar appliance. The change from one application to another can be achieved via a few mouse clicks using the above described webinterfaces. 3

Infotainment Compact The solution for container ships, bulkers, tankers and other such commercial vessels Overview The compact Infotainment solution was developed to provide a state-of-the-art, cost effective and easy to handle information and entertainment system for commercial ships. The system is based on an Ethernet network with a central router / switch and server rack. It is designed to provide a wide range of modularity in hard- & software to fulfil each customer s requirements. The main target of the system is to provide satellite TV and Internet access to the crew. Our turnkey solution is as easy as plug and play Functionality The compact Infotainment solution relies on a client-server architecture based on a modular design allowing functional extensions. The graphical user interface supports easy-to-use navigation between the offered services. It is possible to customise the user interface, e.g. to change colours or logos to integrate the ship owners corporate identity. The administration and remote management and maintenance can be done via Web-Interfaces by an onboard or shore based administrator. Digital Live-TV and radio signals will be distri-buted as a real Multicast Stream which decreases the amount of required network bandwidth.
