A pulse code modulated analog and digital communications prototype
Abstract
The prototype of a fiber optics based communications system for ships which should provide an extremely reliable medium for voice and analog and digital data even under severe ship's casually conditions is discussed. The system works on the principle of a redundant fiber optic ring cable with the redundant cable elements laid in a different path throughout the ship. Each compartment has a device connected to each redundant cable element thus assuring communications from each compartment even under the most extreme emergencies.
