June 2004 – development of SWIBŻ prototype has been commenced on based on an agrement between Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Navy, Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Coastguard and Director of Maritime Office in Gdynia.
The intention of SWIBŻ is a development of common IT platform to exchange nautical information regarding to maritime safety, operational activity and traffic management – according to Regulation 2002/59/EC.

V. Mobile communicationRemote access to nautical information
Accesibility is a main success of IT system. Progress in mobile communication allows to design systems which are accessible from everywhere and every time. Distribution of nautical information can be maintainig in that way according to multi-level access policy.
The following solutions can be used:• Mobile phones technology GSM/GPRS/UMTS• Wi-Fi (normy IEEE 802.11a/b/g)• Wi-Max (normy IEEE 802.16e-
2004/802.16WiMax)• Satellite broadband - VSAT

Today this kind of solution is probably the most popular in all over the world. It is giving a chance for creating a new interactive model of maritime safety system, which is a source of nautical information for common users, as well as contact point for receiving security, safety or operational messages.

VI. GSM/UMTS
Prepared by: Konrad Kurpinski
VI. GSM/UMTS cont.
Advantages: Disadvantages:
•Mobility – small size of access devices•Accessibility – wide land coverages•User-freindly for idividual users•Good prospects of 3G development.•Bandwidth 384Kb/s (EDGE), 2Mb (UMTS)
•Range – especially at the sea area•Sensivity – low tolerance for enviromental interferences Delays – caused by a characteristic of packet transision•Restricted by operator infrastructure
Aplications:
•Individual users.•Access to basic services as a distribution of weather forecasts, navigational warnings etc. via wap, www, sms, mms

VII. Wi-Fi - IEEE 802.11 b/g
Advantages: Disadvantages:
•Mobility – small size devices•Solid position on the market•Usefull and user-friendly•Bandwidth – to 54Mb/s
•Coverage – ~300 meters•Sensivity – low tolerance for electromagnetic noise
Applications:
•Common users and dedicated service. •Full access to the system.•Voice communication (VoIP).

VIII. Wi-Fi - 802.11a
Prepared by: Konrad Kurpinski
VIII. Wi-Fi - 802.11a
Advantages: Disadvantages:
•Solid position on the market•Bandwidth – 54 Mb/s•Range to a dozen kilometers•Good relation price/quality
•Power requirements•Non-portable size•Risk of incompability between hardware comming from different manufacturers •Risk of interferences with other systems working in the same band
Aplications:
•Dedicated users: boats of Coastguard, Navy, SAR. •Full access to the system.•Voice communication (VoIP). •Link between default-gateway and hot-spots IEEE 802.16b. •Monitoring of navigational aids
