Zenitel's Marine Talkback Systems: Elevating Safety and Efficiency at Sea

In the complex and demanding world of maritime operations, clear and effective communication is not just important—it's essential for safety, efficiency, and the successful management of any vessel. Zenitel stands at the forefront of this critical need with our advanced Marine Talkback Systems.

Marine Talkback Systems from Zenitel

Drawing on our rich experience and technical expertise, we offer tailor-made solutions that meet and exceed the unique challenges faced at sea. Zenitel's Marine Talkback Systems are built on a foundation of advanced technology and innovation. Every component, from intercom stations and handsets to amplifiers, speakers, and control panels, is designed for durability and clarity. Our systems can withstand the harsh marine conditions that degrade lesser equipment, ensuring reliable operation when you need it most.

Ensuring Clarity in the Noisiest Environments

The safety and efficiency of onboard operations, as well as operational coordination, depend on the quality of two-way communications. To ensure this, marine talkback communication systems are used to provide communication across all vital sites of the vessel, including the bridge, working areas, engine room, and other departments. Such systems are used on a variety of vessels, from cargo and passenger vessels to workboats and naval vessels.

Similar to other communication solutions, Talk Back Systems onboard marine vessels must comply with regulations set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) according to the SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) convention and approved by classification societies such as DNV and CCS.

Benefits:

  1. Instant communication: Time is of the essence on the open sea. Our Talkback Systems enable instant relay of instructions, warnings, and requests, making swift decision-making a reality.
  2. Enhanced safety: In emergencies or during critical operations, such as docking or mooring, clear and immediate communication is essential for ensuring safety.
  3. Operational efficiency: Streamline your operations with systems that reduce response times and improve overall onboard efficiency, keeping your missions on track and under control.
  4. Hands-free operation: Keep your hands on the job, not the handset. Our hands-free options mean your crew can communicate freely, maintaining safety and productivity.
  5. Integration with other systems: Our IP-based IC-Edge Talkback System can be seamlessly integrated with other critical solutions, such as PAGA or CCTV systems, enhancing overall communication capabilities and emergency response procedures.

Technological Aspects:

  • Intercom stations are located in different areas of the vessel.
  • Two-way Loudspeakers, Handsets, or Microphones.
  • Amplifiers and Speakers transmit the audio signals generated by crew members, ensuring clear and audible communication across the vessel.
  • Control Panels are used for managing operations, including selecting communication channels, adjusting volume levels, and monitoring system status.

CIS: A Reliable Marine Talkback System

The Command Intercom System (CIS) is designed for installation on ships of any size. The solution is compact and space-efficient while providing the necessary functionality and reliability. The performance of marine talk-back stations is enhanced through the use of microprocessor techniques. Designed for maritime operations, this solution provides intelligible audio communications and complies with the strictest rules and regulations.

The IC-EDGE: A Cutting-Edge Communication Solution

The IC-EDGE is a centralized communications system that provides outstanding sound quality and speech intelligibility, advanced cybersecurity, and extensive integration capabilities. Marine talk back systems built upon this platform are easy to configure and manage, offering a wide range of features for seamless crew communication in challenging sound environments.

IC-EDGE systems ensure broad interoperability with a wide range of Zenitel and other vendors’ solutions. Depending on the needs of the client, our engineers design a talk back system for marine use that can be equipped with advanced features such as Active Noise Cancellation, HD Video options, and others.
