2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
2.1 Product Description
The R5 SOLID AIS System (R5 SOLID from here on) consists of a transceiver radio unit,
a GPS receiver, a controller unit and a colour LCD with a numerical keypad. The radio has
three receivers, two tuneable TDMA receivers and one DSC receiver. The transmitter
alternates its transmissions between the two operating TDMA). The controller unit creates
and schedules data packets (containing dynamic, static and voyage related data) for
transmission based on the IMO performance standard for AIS.
The R5 SOLID shall be connected to the ship’s sensors as required by the installation
guidelines published by IALA. The R5 SOLID can interface external navigation and
presentation systems that support required IEC 61162-1 sentences. Refer to chapter 8
“Interpretation of Input Sentences” for more information. The R5 SOLID is prepared for
connection to Long Range systems like Inmarsat C.
The colour LCD and numerical keypad provides a graphical user-friendly interface to the
system. It is possible to plot the location of other vessels, aids to navigation and search
and rescue vessels. The LCD and numerical keypad can also be used to send and
receive messages, perform configuration as well as supervise the systems status.
