Icom Marine Base Stations: The Shore-to-Vessel Link

Icom offers two marine base station solutions for maritime customers looking to communicate with vessels from the shore. The two models, the IC-F5022M VHF Marine Base Station and its Battery Backup Version are designed for a variety of applications from daily operations to emergency situations.

The standard IC-F5022M is a dependable choice for many maritime organisations with a reliable power source. It provides clear communication for tasks such as coordinating marina and harbour traffic and is a popular choice for organisations like the National Coastwatch who can use it as backup for offshore emergencies.

The IC-F5022M Battery Backup Version provides the same capabilities with the added security of an integrated power source. In the event of a power outage the unit automatically switches to battery power ensuring that communication with vessels remains uninterrupted. This is especially useful for organisations where constant contact is critical for safety or operations. The battery can provide hours of backup and it automatically recharges once the mains power is restored.

Both models are suitable for a range of maritime users who need a fixed communication point, including:

• Port and Harbour Authorities
• Commercial Fishing Fleets
• Ferry and Tour Boat Operators
• Yacht Clubs and Marinas

To order either of these base stations, please contact your local authorised Icom Marine Dealer. Alternatively, you can contact our sales team directly at 01227 741741 or via email at sales@icomuk.co.uk.
