Abstract: Described herein is an adaptable communication system for a vessel comprising: a network of gates, each gate comprising at least one wireless interface coupled to a wireless transmission line for wireless communication with another gate of the network and at least one wired interface coupled to a wired transmission line for wired communication with another gate of the network; wherein the gates are each configured to: while the system is in operation, repeatedly update a current gate status based on at least one current property of the wired and wireless transmission lines or at least one current property of the wired and wireless interfaces; receive a data package; select a transmission line based on the current gate status; and send the data package onwards towards a destination via the selected transmission line. Also described herein is a gate for an adaptable communication system and a method for communication in an adaptable system.

Abstract: This invention relates to system and a method for supervising a person in an area, the system comprising a mobile base (100), such as for example a wristband,attached to the person, the mobile base (100) comprising a first radio frequency tag (11) prepared for radio frequency triangulation or positioning for deciding a position of the mobile base (100) and for communicating health, safety and environment (HSE) related components, the system comprising a controller (400) in communication with the mobile base (100). Furthermore, the invention relates to a system and a method for activated communication between an object and a reader,comprising a first radio unit (11) attached to the object, the first radio unit being configured for communicating with the reader.
