Jacques have partnered with Australia’s national science agency, the CSIRO, to provide an intercom solution to the Research Vessel Investigator which is due to set sail for scientific expeditions to Antarctica.

The new $120 million vessel was designed, built and commissioned by the CSIRO through the Future Research Vessel Project, an initiative of the Australian Government.

In terms of the communication solution for the ship Jacques VSL intercom terminals and PA speakers have been installed throughout the ship and we have customized the Jacques Speaker Microphone Interface Consoles so that those on the ship can hold down one button to speak to all stations on the vessel or a separate button to speak to just those on the ship’s deck.

We’re proud to be providing a communication solution for such an exciting project, helping some of our nation’s top scientists as they research one of the most critical areas on our planet.
