Solutions · Marine and maritime
A port communicates over several networks: marine VHF, radios for the shore team, and telephony. We bring them together in a single control room.
We integrate marine VHF into professional radio networks and the Respondr dispatch platform: a port control room coordinates vessels, the shore team, and telephony from a single operator position. To ports and coastal operations we bring over twenty years of experience in mission-critical communications.
The three challenges of managing communications in a port.
What a port control room has to guarantee every day, across the vessels and the shore team.
Communication continuity
VHF communications with vessels and the shore team’s radio networks must stay operational during maneuvers and port operations. Without radio, coordination in the port comes to a halt.
Many networks, one control room
Vessels use marine VHF, the shore team uses professional radios, and the control room uses telephony. You need systems that let different networks coexist in a single operator console.
A lasting investment
The system has to last for years and be maintained without stopping operations. What counts is component quality, technical documentation, and support contracts with guaranteed response times.
What happens when a vessel calls the port.
A concrete case: a vessel’s arrival, from the call on marine VHF to the recording of communications.
The vessel calls on marine VHF
The incoming vessel contacts the control room on the marine VHF channel. It’s the channel vessels use to coordinate with the port, and the control room has to be able to monitor and use it just like every other radio network.
The control room answers from a single console
The operator works on the Respondr console, which brings marine VHF, the shore team’s professional radios, and telephony together in a single interface: one position to talk to the vessel and to every team.
The shore team coordinates the mooring
The operator calls the shore team on the port’s professional radio network to prepare the mooring. We design and build these radio networks in DMR, TETRA, or VHF/UHF technology, from design through maintenance.
Communications are kept on record
Respondr’s built-in recording system stores the port’s radio communications, with the date, time, and channel of every call: every communication stays documented and available to reconstruct events.
The systems we put in the field.
Each solution has its own in-depth page: here you’ll find only what it does for a port control room.
- Marine VHF
Marine equipment and marine VHF
Marine radio equipment and marine VHF systems, integrated into professional radio networks and the control room’s dispatch console.
- Control room
Radio rooms and dispatch
We build control rooms on the Respondr platform: marine VHF, professional radios, and telephony at a single operator position.
- Dispatch platform
Respondr
The platform that unifies analog, digital, and IP networks in a single interface, with marine VHF among the supported networks.
- Team radios
DMR and TETRA radio networks
Radio networks for the teams working in the port: DMR Tier II and Tier III systems, TETRA trunking, and VHF/UHF links, from design to maintenance.
- Traceability
Communication recording
Audio recording systems for radio communications: every call stays documented and available to reconstruct events.
- Radio terminals
Radio fleet supply
Supply, programming, and maintenance of the teams’ radio terminals: we are authorized resellers for Motorola Solutions, Hytera, and Kenwood, and the exclusive Funktronic distributor for Italy.
- Before the tender
Radio coverage study
Propagation models, link budgets, and system sizing: the technical documentation you need to design coverage and present the project in a public tender.
Our systems integrate with the equipment you already have.
No closed systems: we use open protocols, let different technologies coexist on the same equipment, and work with the certifications that public tenders require.
Marine VHF and professional networks in a single console
From the same console, Respondr manages marine VHF and the shore team’s TETRA, DMR, and VHF/UHF radio networks, together with telephony.
Integration with control-room systems
The monitoring systems interface with the operator’s supervision platforms via SNMP, relay contacts, and APIs: alarms reach you where you already work.
Certifications and qualifications
Teleproject is a company certified to ISO 9001:2015 and qualified under SOA OS 19. The Respondr and Track-TP platforms are designed in compliance with the NIS2 directive and the ISA/IEC 62443-3-3 standard.
