The Norwegian Coastal Administration and the MarSafe North project arranged a seminar on Digital Radio Communication as a Tool for Safety at Sea in Vardø, September 2009

The seminar focused on technical communication between stakeholders with an assignment to support safety at sea for the mariners.  The MarSafe project did together with the Royal Norwegian Navy (RNoN) perform tests on communication possibilities of Galileo and Egnos on a sailing from Sptitsbergen to Kirkenes.  During the seminar use of wearable antennas was demonstrated, as well as use of WiMAX as one technology for communication of broadband data.
