Maritime Communications

CML Micro offers an increasing range of voice and data communication ICs in the support of maritime safety equipments.

AIS has become the essential navigation/safety/security equipment onboard leisure sailing yachts/motor cruisers, through to commercial vessels (fishing, cargo and passenger ships).

CML’s AIS products include all the necessary signalling functionality, including the GMSK modem, DSC modem and embedded AIS protocol. AIS Class A, AIS Class B, AIS Rx only applications, exactTraxTM long range AIS Class B data tracking, AIS-SART, MOB/PLB and maritime VHF voice communications are all supported.

A VHF maritime radio is an essential piece of equipment in both coastal and deep-water operations.
