Wärtsilä GMDSS Simulator TGS 5000

The Wärtsilä GMDSS Simulator TGS 5000 accurately imitates actual ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communications using highly realistic simulated terrestrial and satellite communication systems. Trainees can familiarise themselves with the correct operation of a variety of GMDSS equipment, for both distress and general communication, as the software emulates recognised GMDSS equipment produced by S.P. Radio, Thrane&Thrane and other manufacturers.

• Instructor can easily:
• Enter different interference on the selected frequencies.
• Run and control the prepared scenarios.
• Operate in telephone, telex and DSC modes performing functions of a coast telex or phone subscriber, coast radio station and RCC operator.
• Monitor any active trainee workstation screen.
• Simulate MF/HF/VHF communication in DSC, telephony, and telex modes, as well as satellite communication between workplaces (ships) and with coast radio stations for any shipping area.
• Simulate maritime safety information transmission via SafetyNET, NAVTEX and HF NBDP services.
• Train in radio wave propagation using a radio ether model, which accounts for the frequency range, time of day and distance between stations.
• Conduct SAR operations using radar for detecting SART marks allows for prompt change of the ship’s course and speed.
• Option to change from a networked operation to single-user mode to enable self-education in Demo, Test and Exam modes.
• Record and playback radiotelephone communication.
• Conduct joint operation with a navigational simulator.

• Simulation of a full set of SAILOR 6000 equipment.
• Four different types of GMDSS radio equipment, manufactured by S.P.Radio/ Thrane&Thrane: SAILOR 6000, SAILOR 5000, SAILOR System 4000 and SAILOR Compact 2000. In addition, the VHF&DSC FURUNO FM-8800S is included.
• Electronic charts display coast station bases, GMDSS sea areas, SAR areas, and rough estimates of the radio waves propagation in the selected frequency band.
• Jotron AIS SART as per IMO Resolution MSC. 256 (84) as an alternative to 9 GHz SART (from January 1st, 2010)
• Simulation of Inmarsat Fleet77, Inmarsat FBB, AIS Class A and Glonass/GPS receiver.
• Each trainee workplace can be supplemented with a Wärtsilä compact console, including the real control panels of SAILOR Program 6000 units.
