For Safety, Security and Clear Communications
This level of communication provides a more efficient, cost effective, and collaborative way of working. Streamlining construction, operation and maintenance processes so that communication is safe and effective.
SafetyNet Ocean has been designed to provide for the safety and seamless communication of people working on offshore windfarms, to give them peace of mind that they are monitored at all times and to allow for non-disrupted transmissions between users.
SafetyNet Ocean is designed to be a multi-user system, a system where engineers from one company can be in communication with engineers from another, where visitors can be location monitored and crucially – safety can be prioritised.
For Safety, Security and Clear Communications
SafetyNet Ocean provides a rapid, effective response when an alarm on the system is activated, prioritising staff safety.
SafetyNet Ocean creates a seamless communication system between land and sea for effective and efficient working.
SafetyNet Ocean delivers a secure channel for equipment monitoring.
This level of communication provides a more efficient, cost effective, collaborative way of working, one that will streamline the different strands of the operating and maintenance processes and channel communications safely and effectually.
How does SafetyNet™ Ocean work?
Gateway Repeater
A dedicated radio channel optimised to work inside each turbine and link voice communications to the main site wide TETRA system using a Gateway Repeater.
Location Beacon
When a radio user moves in the tower, a location beacon is detected which automatically switches the radio to the turbine channel. When they leave and enter a vessel, the radio detects another beacon which switches it back to the main Tetra network. The beacons can also track asset tags moving into a tower or vessel.
Track and alert
SafetyNet Locator software can monitor the location of a person and assets to generate alerts triggered by:
Robust coverage for critical communications
Real-time location monitoring for assistance to be despatched to an exact location
Movement of radio users entering a designated area using location beacons or GPS
Tracking of Assets or personnel passing through areas monitored by location beacons in each tower, vessel or placed in areas of specific interest.
Lack of movement, or Man Down on a radio i.e. when the radio detects that is has been lying on its side for an extended period
Safety Poll on a radio i.e. when the radio user does not responded to an automatic poll to confirm that they are okay
The use of an emergency or duress button on a radio or a dedicated personal alarm.
SafetyNet™ Windfarm has been designed to provide for the safety of people working on offshore windfarms to give them peace of mind that they are monitored at all times.
SafetyNet Windfarm is the ultimate solution for monitoring the location of individuals. It is designed to ensure a rapid, effective response when an alarm on the system is activated by providing real-time location information to others on the system and indicate if help is required.
Providing robust, reliable and responsive communications; SafetyNet Windfarm delivers the definitive package for dedicated people monitoring in extreme environments.

How does SafetyNet™ Windfarm work?
SafetyNet™ Windfarm systems generally have three main requirements:
Reachability: Turbine towers are constructed of steel and therefore create an almost impenetrable Faraday cage which prevents radio signals from outside transmitting within the tower structure. Once inside the turbine, technicians will lose the ability to communicate.
Response: To ensure radio coverage both inside and outside the turbine towers we have developed a system that can provide a dedicated radio channel optimised to work inside each turbine and link it to the main site-wide TETRA system using a Gateway Repeater.
Robustness: SafetyNet Windfarm has to deliver seamless communications between land based control rooms, offshore service platforms, service vessels, workers within the field and workers inside a turbine tower.
CASE STUDY
Critical communications for London Array Windfarm
PMR products deployed clear and safety critical communications for the 100km2 London Array windfarm, located twelve miles from the Kent coast. Providing reliable communications is pivotal in facilitating the seamless interaction of the many personnel as they move around the vicinity.
