Digital Public Address

The Communicator ICS is the entry-level digital integrated communications and alarm system from Multicom.

The Communicator ICS is the standard when you need more than a simple public address system for your vessel. The Communicator is a full-featured communications and alarm system for any type of workboat, rig or small passenger vessel or ferry. It can also be the building block for a more elaborate system requiring loudhailer, foghorn, and entertainment audio. It can be easily configured and modified to meet your requirements – unlike the standard analog systems offered by others.

If you need a simple, yet expandable communication and alarm system– then the Communicator is for you! (See the Voyager if you need more control or the Explorer if your entertainment needs are greater).
