1. INTRODUCTION
This chapter introduces the Safety Voice (Non-SOLAS) and gives an overview of the system and
services. It has the following sections:
• The Safety Voice (Non-SOLAS) system
• The Safety Voice (Non-SOLAS) service
1.1 The Safety Voice (Non-SOLAS) System
The Safety Voice (Non-SOLAS) system is primarily used for Distress and Urgency calls using the
FleetBroadband service. The Alarm Panel is used together with a FELCOM251 or FELCOM501
FleetBroadband system and an IP Handset designated for Distress use.
1.1.1 System components
The system includes the following system components:
• Alarm Panel (FB-3101)
• IP Handset (FB-8001)
• Communication Unit (FB-2001)
• Antenna Unit (FB-1251 or FB-1501)
The system components are briefly described in the following sections. Apart from the above
equipment your system may include additional handsets, routers etc.
Instructions on how to assemble the system are found in the Installation Manual (IMC-57060) and

An IP Handsets which is designated for Safety Voice is also able to function as a normal IP Hand-
set.
Additional IP Handsets may be used for normal voice communication (non-Distress).
1.1.3 FleetBroadband system (Communication Unit and Antenna
Unit)
The FleetBroadband system is a maritime broadband sys-
tem, providing simultaneous high-speed data and voice
communication via satellite.
In the Safety Voice (Non-SOLAS) system, you can enable
the use of priority calling for emergency use in the Commu-
nication Unit. This is done using the built-in web interface,
where you also designate a specific IP Handset for Safety
Voice.
To use the Safety Voice (Non-SOLAS) system you must
connect an IP Handset to the LAN interface and designate
it for Safety Voice. You must also connect an Alarm Panel
to activate Distress calls.

Buzzer:
The Alarm Panel also has a buzzer, which sounds when there is a Distress call or a fault. For the
behavior of the buzzer, see "Buzzer" on page 3-12.
1.2 The Safety Voice (Non-SOLAS) Service
The Inmarsat Safety Voice (Non-SOLAS) service uses FleetBroadband to provide priority call ac-
cess - interrupting all non-distress calls as soon as the red distress button is pushed.
When the red distress button on the Alarm Panel is pushed during an emergency, the service will
interrupt any ongoing non-distress calls - ship to shore or shore to ship. The emergency caller is
then connected to an operator at one of three Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centers (MRCCs)
strategically located around the globe.
