Major events of the financial year

In the Estonian maritime rescue area of responsibility, RIKS provided a maritime communication service in accordance with the requirements of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS). In 2022, RIKS continued to operate the maritime communication network to the extent that ensures the fulfillment of international obligations by the Republic of Estonia (GMDSS, radio communication from the sea, telephone communication between ships and the shore, transmission of navigation messages).

RIKS transmits round-the-clock weather reports and navigation warnings and emergency messages for the central part of the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland both in radio telephone mode and in the U-area (central part of the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland) international NAVTEX system, which is curated by the IMO NAVTEX panel at the IHO.

In 2022, RIKS ensured the uninterrupted operation of the communication of functionally important (including rescue and patrol) ships of the state. According to the SOLAS Convention, RIKS ensured the transmission of ship correspondence to shore subscribers on all maritime communication wavebands.

To ensure the continuity of the maritime communication service, the automatic tuning of NAVTEX transmitters and antennas was completed, the reconstruction of antenna fields continued. The maritime communication system software was adapted, which allowed the Maritime Administration to completely abandon its depreciated network, and the remote control systems of maritime communication shore stations were improved by adding new functions.

For the provision of the population safety notification (AKOS) service, RIKS announced an international tender in 2022. Preparations for the provision of this service began as early as 2018. The service was technically developed in December 2022. External assistance was received for the development of the service from EU structural funds in the amount of 768,392 euros.

The adoption of the Secure Mobile Communication Service (Sectra) was decided by the Government of the Republic at the end of 2021, and in 2022 we renewed the hardware and licenses and can provide the service to up to 300 users. The service is provided in cooperation with the State Chancellery to up to 300 users.

In 2022, satellite communication development was started with a pilot project, which envisaged covering critical institutions with backup satellite data communication. Preparations were also made for the introduction of the PRS service secure data exchange channel (Filkrypto).

In terms of the operational radio network ESTER, the border guard, police, rescue service and other users were ensured uninterrupted operation of the operational radio network within the scope of the network operating contract.

As equipment hosting services, RIKS offers state institutions and telecommunications network operators, equipment installation site rental in RIKS-owned masts and building structures, and equipment hosting services in server rooms compliant with ISKE requirements.

The operation of RIKS data centers continued on a larger scale than before.
