The MORSE system is also used in maritime communication – an excellent example is the VHF Data network allowing communication between ships on the open sea. Telenor Maritime Radio who operate the network have equipped their base stations along the whole of the Norwegian coast from Oslo to Kirkenes with RACOM devices.
According to the requirements on the volume of transferred data and available coverage the MRouter on ships switches communication between MR160 and MW160 or via Wifi hotspots.
Narrowband radio modems switch between nine narrowband channels depending on their utilisation.
