GMDDS Features

Installation Wizard

The installation and setup of the LT-3100S GMDSS system has been made user-friendly by adding an Installation Wizard that will guide you through the initial configuration and activation of the system on the Iridium GMDSS Gateway (IGS).

Distress Alert

Distress Alert can be activated by pushing the DISTRESS button on the front of the control unit. A Distress Alert message will be sent to the Iridium GMDSS Gateway (IGS) and immediately forwarded to the Rescue Coordination Center (RCC).

Safety Voice

The LT-3100S GMDSS System is supporting both Safety Voice (priority) and standard Voice (non-priority). The terminal can be configured to automatically setup a Safety Voice call (priority: Distress) to the RCC, if the Distress button has been activated.
