During 2019, Petrobras Updated Its Communication System, Modernizing the Radio Communication Equipment of More Than 50 Platforms

The changes made by Petrobras to its communication equipment, across more than 50 platforms, are due to compliance with the NORMAM27/DPC regulations of the Brazilian Navy and ICA 63-10. Both authorities began to require a review of communication for maritime units equipped with helidecks. The system has been operating since October 2019.

The VHF-Aeronautical Radio (VHF-A), model A220B, manufactured by ICOM, along with the power supply PS-80, was installed. The difference in relation to the old equipment is the existence of an audio output for recording communications, meaning the transmission and reception signals.

Two VHF-A radio systems were implanted on each of Petrobras’s platforms, one being primary and one backup. The installation was carried out by Waypoint after winning a bidding process in 2018.
