About S3C Communications (PTY) Ltd

What we do

We are industry leaders in space & maritime data exchange products.

S3C develops and supplies telecommunication products for the space-maritime industry. We are the creators of the VDES1000 module which is used as the industry benchmark for the incoming maritime data exchange protocol, AIS 2.0 (VDES). Our product design, development and certification services are all optimised to shorten time-to-market.

Our in-house developed SDR framework is a lightweight, low-overhead development environment, ideally suited for low-powered embedded systems. Being highly customisable, it excels at purpose-built hardware, uses final production code and drastically shortens the development cycle.

Why Work For Us

We offer unparalleled mastery of software & hardware integration, but also the opportunity to make a global impact on maritime safety & telecommunications.
