The system has full global radio coverage. Covers A1, A2, A3 and A4
areas.
The Iridium SSAS Box will send an alert SMS/Email when the alert
button is pressed for more than 2 seconds. The Iridium SSAS Box
controls the Iridium Transceiver via standard AT commands.
The SSAS control unit supports a Iridium Tracking System (ITS). Via
SMS or Email the shipowner will be able to follow the position of the
ship. On an ITS request the system will send a pre-configured
message to the recipient (shipowner) containing the latest position
information, which the SSAS control unit retrieves from the GPS. The
SSAS control unit can be set to automatically sending ITS messages
continuously at a predetermined time interval or/and it can send a
position upon a request from an incoming message with the correct
password for ITS requesting.
The LAN interface on the Iridium SSAS Box supports the connection
of a service PC for configuring the Iridium SSAS Box. On the Iridium
SSAS Box there is an HTTP server, which holds the configuration
pages made in HTML. The configuration can be used to:
-
Set up Alert parameters (Email or SMS address of recipients
plus choose light indicator behaviour)
-
Read status log of incoming alert resets
-
Download new software to the Iridium SSAS Box
-
Download new HTML pages for the configuration
In case a ship is being attacked by pirates or terrorists the crew
needs a possibility to send a silent alert message to a predefined
alert centre. It should be possible to activate the alert (via an alert
button) from the navigation bridge and in at least one other location.
Via the alert message the alert centre knows that the ship is being
attacked and what the ship’s position is. Immediate action can be
taken to save the ship and the crew.
When the alert is activated an SMS will be sent from the SSAS
system to a predefined SMS number or Email address. The test
button will light green when the alert is active. Green is perceived as
OK and will not indicate alert or danger.
The alert message will be sent continuously until it is reset either by
the ship’s crew or from land. The alert can be deactivated from land
by sending a reset SMS message back to the ship.
Only in US SMS messages can be send to a cellular phone. In the
rest of the world SMS messages can only be send between Iridium
satellite phones.
The ship owner is responsible for setting up a security plan in which
he specifies who shall receive the alert message and who is to be
contacted.
The H4122 SSAS system consists of a SSAS control box including
test and alert buttons. The H4122 SSAS system is an add-on
solution to our Iridium Transceiver Unit.
The system allows the user to use the Iridium Transceiver for normal
speech and data transmission.
