Marine DSC Controllers are vital for maritime communication, enabling digital selective calling for distress alerts. These systems integrate with VHF radios to ensure reliable ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communication. They enhance safety by automating emergency signaling and improving coordination during maritime operations.

Marine DSC Controllers typically operate on VHF frequencies (156-174 MHz) with a power output of 1-25W. They comply with GMDSS standards (SOLAS) and feature DSC Class A, B, or D. Size varies by model but is generally compact (150-300mm width, 100-200mm depth, 50-100mm height). Materials include ABS plastic or aluminum housing for durability. Buoyancy is not applicable as they are fixed on vessels.

Communication Systems for marine use include VHF, MF/HF, and satellite options. VHF systems cover 156-174 MHz, while MF/HF ranges 1.6-30 MHz. Satellite systems (Inmarsat, Iridium) ensure global coverage. Materials are corrosion-resistant (stainless steel, marine-grade polymers). Size varies: handheld VHF radios are ~150x60x40mm, while fixed units are larger. Buoyancy applies only to portable devices (IPX7/8 waterproofing). Viscosity and grade are not relevant to these systems.
