Effective Super Yacht Communication with Zenitel’s CIS TalkBack
In the competitive world of luxury yachts, a reliable super yacht communication system is essential for smooth operations, particularly in the critical spaces where crew coordination is paramount.
Recently, Zenitel secured a significant win by providing the CIS 3130 Command Intercom System onboard a Riva 50 Metri super yacht, successfully competing against a more high-end aesthetic solution from the market.
Why a Reliable Super Yacht Communication System is Critical for Crew Efficiency
Super yachts like the Riva 50 Metri represent the epitome of luxury, requiring not just state-of-the-art amenities, but also seamless operations to ensure passenger safety and comfort. In this setting, crew communication needs to be reliable, durable, and easily accessible in the most critical areas of the yacht, from the wheelhouse to the technical rooms. That’s where Zenitel’s CIS TalkBack System excels.
The CIS TalkBack Setup on the Riva 50 Metri
For this project, we provided a highly effective communication system with coverage in all key operational areas:
- Wheelhouse Console: Ensures direct communication with the most vital parts of the yacht.
- Mooring Stations: Two weatherproof call units strategically placed for efficient mooring operations.
- Flybridge Unit: A master station designed for outdoor use with IP55 rating, ensuring reliability even in challenging weather conditions.
- Engine Room Substation: Equipped with a headset for hands-free communication in one of the busiest and loudest environments.
- Technical Room Call Unit: Allows for communication from critical engineering spaces.
Each part of this setup ensures that crew members can communicate effortlessly across different sections of the yacht, maintaining operational efficiency in both routine and emergency situations.
Competing Against More Aesthetic Solutions
While the competing solution boasted a high-end aesthetic appeal suited for luxury yachts, Zenitel’s CIS TalkBack System was chosen for its proven reliability, rugged design, and trusted relationships with local Italian electrical installers. Despite being a simpler solution, the system’s robustness and practicality outweighed the more aesthetic features of the competitor’s offering. This decision highlights how important a balance of reliability, durability, and local support is in the high-demand world of super yacht outfitting.
