The Poseidon GMDSS Simulator has been the market leading networked simulator for GMDSS training since the introduction 1992.
In the new Poseidon Pharos GMDSS simulator, released 2009, we have combined our experience and knowledge from the old DOS-based system with cutting edge technology.
We have named our new simulator; Poseidon Pharos GMDSS Simulator
GMDSS ROC and GOC
Poseidon offers both GMDSS/ROC (Restricted Operators Certificate) and GMDSS/GOC (General Operators Certificate) simulator. The Poseidon Pharos GMDSS/ROC Simulator offers the same quality and networked versatility as the GMDSS/GOC version but with equipment limited to the ROC curriculum.
Search and Rescue (SAR) Training
The Poseidon Pharos GMDSS simulator is especially suitable for SAR training. It has a built in radar simulator that detects SART signals and a maneuvering module for changing course and speed in order to assist the ship in distress.
Compliance
The simulator is certified by MCA/AMERC (Associated Members of Electronic and Radio Colleges), UK and Telenor Maritime Radio (Norwegian Telecom).

Advanced Instructor Features
The instructor station is extremly flexible and the simulator allows for advanced control, supervision and debriefing:
| Multi screen option Multiple instructors option Multiple sessions option Malfunction control Student administration Cost radio simulation | Ship station simulation Advansced exercise logging Advanced debrifing module Advanced supervision Ship database Coast radio database Easy chart overview |
Smooth Coast Radio and RCC Emulation
The instructor(s) can operate as any Coast Radio Station (CRS) around the world. Available equipment at the CRS's is according to List of Coast Stations. The instructor can easily switch between CRS's that receives incoming messages/calls and act accordingly. The instructor can also act as (M)RCC in a dedicated RCC view.
Front Edge Technology
The simulator is developed using the latest network and multiplatform technology:
| Voice over IP (VoIP) Windows OS or Linux OS | Windows GUI Open GL graphics TCPIP network protocol |
