8 Alternative communication if the shore-based facilities fail

 CNIS is designed with sufficient system redundancy to cope with normal equipment failure. Radars have dual transmitter/receivers controlled either from MRCC DOVER or the radar site. Radiocommunications are controlled at the MRCC. In the event of a failure there, each transmitter/receiver can be operated from the radar site. Limited coverage can also be achieved using emergency 25W transceivers, or 5W portable radios at DOVER COASTGUARD. If CNIS operations are jeopardised at either DOVER COASTGUARD or GRIS NEZ TRAFFIC, then the other site can assume total control.
