Upgrade to Save Time and Money

• Upgrade specialists help reduce VDR upgrade costs with pre-installation survey forms to avoid unplanned disruption, while advanced upgrade kits reduce installation  time by an average of one day. There is also the option to re-utilize existing sensor    modules and cabling (where feasible) to further accelerate installation.
• Improve your VDR reliability and reduce servicing downtime by removing dated equipment reliant on sometimes scarce components, which could extend service times and hold ships at port.
• Gain access to one of the largest global service networks, with approximately 1300 certified engineers.
• By upgrading older VDRs near their end service, vessels can reduce the lifetime cost of ownership by lowering maintenance and annual APT costs and gain the peace of mind of a ten-year service guarantee and seven years parts support after final manufacture date*.
• Fully compliant with July 2014 IMO installation standard MSC 333.(90), Netwave NW6000 VDRs offer technological confidence in a solution which has a global install base of more than 6,000 vessels.

Benefits of Netwave NW6000 VDR Upgrade Systems
As the natural upgrade route, the Netwave NW6000 Upgrade Systems provide economic and functional benefits for the conversion of existing G1 19” rack and the G2 & G3 series VDRs.

Functional benefits

Netwave NW6000 Upgrade Systems remove and upgrade out dated compo-nents including the core module, capsule and bridge control unit. The new VDR reuses the existing interface boxes to further reduce installation cost and deploys a range of upgrade plates to ensure the new system can be installed in the same spaces.

The NW6000 VDR offers additional user- Horizontal 19 inch rack mount Capsule Fitting plate friendly benefits, including new playback  features on the touchscreen BCU and the  use of Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power components. This both reduces cabling requirements and allows easier future expansion of the VDR system.

engineering time, with the ability to copy over existing configurations for some models.
VHF Interface| Dual function VHF interface and microphone power source
Mics| Plug and play replacement option utilising existing cabling
Screen Frame Grabber| Increased number of channels including connecting VGA and LWE
Player V2| Easy install allows both playback and offers touchscreen interface for ease of use
