Subsystems: Application-Ready Solutions for Broadcast & Maritime Communications

The current range includes Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) receiver solutions for next-generation digital broadcasting and VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) solutions for maritime communications. Often described as “AIS v2.0”, VDES extends the capabilities of the Automatic Identification System (AIS) to enable enhanced data exchange and support increasingly connected maritime operations.

Designed to simplify system integration and accelerate deployment, these subsystem solutions combine CML’s RF, mixed-signal and communications expertise into compact, application-ready platforms. By reducing design complexity and development effort, they enable customers to implement robust, standards-compliant communication capabilities in environments where reliability, spectrum efficiency and long-term support are critical.
