WIRELESS/ON BOARD COMMUNICATIONS “SAVOX IMP is user con? gurable and has no system mas- ter, meaning quick and easy set up,” adds Mikael Wester- lund, SVP Global Marketing at SAVOX Communications.

Today’s increasingly sophisticated workboats therefore come with a host of ‘comms’ options. Which one is right for you? That de- pends on your mission. And for every workboat mission, there is a communications solution to match.
