DICOM Technology Co., Ltd. has designed, manufactured, and deployed a complete IP-based GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) control system across five coastal radio stations covering Vietnam’s entire maritime coastline, replacing end-of-life analog infrastructure with a unified, fully digital architecture. The control system at the heart of the network — from the IP signal cards that interface with each radio site to the redundant server cluster at the control center — was designed and manufactured in-house by DICOM.

Engineering the Migration: Legacy Analog to Full IP

Vietnam’s coastal radio stations had operated on equipment installed in the early 2000s, now reaching end-of-life (EoL/EoS) status — raising the risk of service disruption and making spare parts and maintenance increasingly difficult to sustain. DICOM was selected to design, manufacture, and deliver a complete replacement of the Operator Control Center (OPC) equipment at all five stations, migrating the entire control layer to a fully IP-based GMDSS architecture while reusing the existing VHF/MF/HF radio assets — protecting prior investment while future-proofing the network.

Core Technologies — Designed and Manufactured by DICOM

The core of the GMDSS control system — the signal-processing cards, the redundant server cluster, and the operator interface — is DICOM-engineered hardware and software, designed to integrate seamlessly with each station’s existing radio equipment.

1. End-to-End IP Architecture for DSC, NAVTEX & RTP Voice

All GMDSS services are fully digitized and routed over a secure IP network, replacing legacy E1 and analog interconnects. This enables centralized management, inter-station resource sharing, and seamless scalability across all five stations from a single control environment.

2. GMDSS Card Modules — Remote Radio Control via IP

DICOM-manufactured GMDSS Cards are deployed at transmit, receive, and VHF sites to perform DSC/NAVTEX modulation and demodulation. They interface with existing MF/HF transmitters and VHF transceivers via RS-232/RS-422 and are controlled remotely from the OPC over IP — eliminating on-site intervention at remote radio sites.

3. 4W E&M Interface Cards — Analog-to-VoIP Conversion for RTP

DICOM 4W E&M cards perform bidirectional conversion between analog audio and VoIP, delivering RTP (Radio Telephone Procedure) voice services to operator workstations over the IP network with no loss of legacy radio capability.

4. Redundant GMDSS & TMCS Server Cluster — 1+1 Active-Passive

Two dedicated server pairs manage the system. The GMDSS processing server handles DSC/NAVTEX data processing and event storage; the TMCS (Telecommunication Management and Control System) server provides centralized monitoring and remote control of all radio equipment. Both run in 1+1 Active-Passive configuration with RAID storage and automatic failover — removing any single point of failure.

5. Controller Working Position (CWP) — Multi-Touch Interface

A multi-touch operator interface designed for effortless radio control and telephony, with integrated call recording and logging for continuous operation and fast history retrieval.

6. Dual Power & Dual Ethernet — Hardware Resilience by Design

Every control and network device carries dual independent power supplies and dual Ethernet paths, ensuring automatic self-recovery and zero downtime in the event of a hardware fault.

Standards Compliance

• IMO SOLAS Chapter IV — GMDSS mandatory framework for coastal stations
• ITU-R M.493 — Digital Selective Calling (DSC) system
• ITU-R M.540 — NAVTEX operational and technical characteristics
• ITU Radio Regulations App. 15 & 18 — DSC frequencies and NAVTEX procedures
• ISO 9001:2015 — Quality Management System (DICOM certified)

Results: A Unified, Future-Ready Coastal Radio Network

Vietnam’s five coastal radio stations now operate as a single unified IP-networked GMDSS system, delivering:

• Continuous 24/7/365 DSC, NAVTEX, and RTP voice service
• Centralized remote monitoring and control of all transmitters, receivers, and VHF transceivers
• Inter-station resource sharing and automatic cross-station backup on local failure
• Modular, scalable architecture — new radio sites, operator positions, or control centers can be added without redesign

The deployment positions Vietnam’s coastal radio infrastructure to meet the IMO’s next-generation GMDSS modernization roadmap and the global shift toward fully digital, IP-based maritime safety communications.

Air traffic management and other safety- and security-sensitive domains now operate on converging streams of voice, IP communications, video, screen activity, and data feeds. Teams manage these sources across distributed sites and mixed infrastructure. When incidents or anomalies occur, fragmented logs slow response and analysis. Operators need a coherent, time-aligned record. They also need replay tools that show what happened, when it happened, and how actions unfolded across channels.

Mission-critical operators also face rising expectations for accountability. Services must remain dependable around the clock. Governance teams require clear access control, defensible evidence retention, and auditable user actions. Operational teams need tools that fit daily workflows. Skylogix addresses these needs with synchronized replay, evidence control, and governance features that reduce complexity during reviews.

What Skylogix Delivers

Capture without gaps. Skylogix records simultaneously across analog audio, VoIP (ED-137B/C, SIP, RTP), screen activity, radar, CCTV, and Ethernet data — with millisecond-precise timestamps via NTP and IRIG-B synchronisation.

Replay that holds up under scrutiny. Up to 64 channels play back in synchronized alignment, giving investigators a complete, time-ordered picture of any incident across every source.

Evidence handling built for accountability. Protected Mode, Quarantine, and AES-256 encrypted Impound packaging support chain-of-custody requirements from initial response through legal review. Speech-to-Text accelerates search across large recording archives.

Governance and oversight by design. Role-based access control, a full Audit Trail, and configurable dashboards give compliance teams the visibility and traceability they need without additional tooling.

For full technical specifications, visit the Skylogix product page.

Applications for Mission-Critical Environments

Designed for environments where continuity and evidence integrity are non-negotiable, Skylogix serves ATC towers, ACCs, defense and security organizations, command-and-control centers, government agencies, and public safety operations.

Operations teams use live monitoring for real-time channel oversight. Investigators rely on time-aligned playback to reconstruct events across multiple sources simultaneously. Governance teams apply Quarantine, Protected Mode, and AES-256 encrypted impound handling to preserve and control critical evidence. Role-based access control and the Audit Trail complete the accountability layer. Configurable dashboards maintain visibility into system health and performance at all times.
