Product Description

The Lars Thrane LT3100S GMDSS system is Iridium‘s premier satellite GMDSS security and emergency communications solution and offers the world’s first and only truly global GMDSS solution. Terminal, the LT3100S GMDSS system can be used as the main satellite communication product on ships, covering basic communication needs in terms of ship-to-shore connectivity. The LT3100S GMDSS system also offers voice, SMS, data, vessel tracking, and other Iridium services at competitive airtime, making it the perfect satellite communications product onboard any vessel.

In 2018, the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) recognized Iridium as a provider of GMDSS satellite services. In early 2020, these GMDSS services, hereunder: Distress Alert, Safety Voice, and Maritime Safety Information (MSI) will be available via the LT-3100S GMDSS system, a terminal developed by Lars Thrane A/S.

The LT-3100S GMDSS system is designed for all IMO vessels and will be an alternative to the Inmarsat C. The LT-3100S GMDSS system meets all standards and certification requirements needed for worldwide maritime satellite communications equipment (MED, Wheelmark).

PERFORMANCE

The LT-3100S GMDSS system has voice and data capabilities with 100% global coverage. The LT-3100S GMDSS system consists of a control unit, handset, and antenna unit. A single cable solution connects the control unit with the antenna unit. Using a standard coaxial cable, up to 500 meters of separation between the units can be obtained, giving freedom to mount the antenna in the best possible location, with a free line of sight to the satellites.

The LT-3100S GMDSS system is designed for the Iridium GMDSS Safety Services and can be used as the primary satellite communication product on vessels, covering the basic communication needs in terms of connectivity between the ship and shore. The LT-3100S GMDSS system also provides voice, SMS, data, vessel tracking, and other Iridium services with competitive airtime rates, making it the perfect satellite communication product on board any vessel.

The LT-3100S GMDSS System is designed and built for the demanding and rough environment at sea and with an operational temperature range from -40⁰C to +55⁰C (-40⁰F to +131⁰F).

INSTALLATION

The LT-3100S GMDSS system is very easy to install. Everything is included in the box to get started with the installation and operation of the LT-3100S GMDSS system. The control unit can be installed using either a bracket mount or a flush mount. The antenna unit can be mounted using either a pole mount (1.5″ tube) or an angle bracket mount (1″ to 2.5″ tube). The control unit has a large 4.3″ TFT display, from where the system can be operated with overview and ease. The built-in web server can be used for service and maintenance.
