Telephone Systems - Navigation and Communication
Marine telephone systems provide reliable voice communication between the bridge, engine room, cargo control room, accommodation areas, and emergency stations. Systems may use dedicated analogue lines, IP networks, sound-powered circuits, or integrated PABX/intercom technology.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Telephone Systems for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.
