The SSAS equipment for demanding customers, providing: battery backup, battery reports, a tamper switch and a marine grade stainless steel case.

DSAS is a fully compliant premium product designed for the buyer who requires a comprehensive solution for effective security alert management. The unit is self-contained and consists of a compact, integrated Inmarsat/GPS transceiver, power management unit, back-up batteries and two alert activation points. It is constructed using a tough polycarbonate enclosure which is, in turn, protected by a stainless steel casing. Installation is straightforward and, with the Pole Star SSAS Management System, security alert management is easy.

As there is no external antenna, the unit does not resemble typical Satcom equipment and, therefore, is likely to escape hijacker/terrorist attention. In the event that the DSAS power/alert activation point cabling is cut or the ship's main power is down, the unit will remain functional for several days.
