OFFSHORE COMMUNICATIONS SEAHUB TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION


• Antenna array platform – allows secure mounting of all antennas and separate Satellite communications dome required to support radio communications to and from the container


• VHF (M) Radio – keep in touch with vessels at sea, maintain a watch on channel 16 and stay in communication with all contractor vessels via pre-approved ‘private channels’


• VHF (A) Radio – ability to communicate directly with aircraft/ helicopters as required


• Tetra Base station – allows communication to Tetra radios and intercommunication between radios within range of the container base station


• AIS receiver (vessel tracking) – picks up AIS signals from vessels within the vicinity of the container (approx. 20nm radius)


• ADS-B receiver (Aircraft tracking) – allows container to receive data directly from all aircraft movements within the vicinity


• Crewfinder – Man Overboard unit to pick up transmissions from any EPIRB based PLB device


• Satellite link – allows all data to be transmitted back to a ground station for onward submission to shore based systems


• Internal network – The LAN network within the container to allow all IP devices to communicate with each other and the outside world


• Monitoring equipment – Temperature, humidity, vibration, smoke, gas (low O2 levels) fire, and flood


• UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) – Allows SeaHub to continue to run for a period of time if external power is lost


• Air conditioning – controls the heat and humidity levels within the container to a pre-set level to protect the equipment


• Remote Tetra & Dispatcher equipment – Radio console that allows remote access and use of all of the radio equipment listed above form any on shore location regardless of geographic location


• Monitoring and Control – SeaPlanner integrates important project information and enables round-the-clock monitoring and control of all systems


LONGEVITY


TO MAINTAIN THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY YOU NEED DEPENDABLE VOICE AND DATA COMMUNICATIONS


An additional benefit to the SeaHub communication system is that it may be reused, either deployed at a fixed location, such as on the offshore substation once it is grid connected, to provide the permanent communications solution for the site, or on the next construction project.


LIMITED DOWNTIME SeaRoc Group


This solution, with the use of SeaPlanner provides the ability for round-the-clock monitoring. Data is gathered and transferred back to onshore co-ordination centres for immediate action as required.

INDUSTRY FIRST


Whilst applicable to any offshore construction, SeaHub is unique to the offshore renewable industry. Deployed onto its first offshore windfarm in the UK earlier this year, this unique concept for effective communications addresses key issues for constructing and operating windfarms further from shore.
