Exterior Lighting

Exterior lighting is more than a few deck and underwater lights. To ensure safety and to meet rules and regulations, we’re ready to install everything from anchor lights to navigation and visibility lights.

The real fun starts at other the exterior lights though. As we do not simply install pool-, disco-, and deck lights, as a total integrator we connect them to the network so they can communicate with other devices for a total, synchronized experience. Tenders and toys are the completion of your yacht. So why not let them add to your party. Blend them in and let them be an additional mind blowing part of your experience by matching the same lights as your yacht, or even part of the lightshow. Combined with a cast of the music on board, or even automatically increasing volume while approaching the yacht, tender and toy lighting provides a seamless experience for your guests.

Facts & figures:

  • Integrated light systems account for the best experience on board. At De Keizer all audio-, video-, lights- and blinds systems are connected by the network to create the best experience possible
  • Steam lighting, searchlights, obstruction lights, lighted SSB antennas; no light is spared to ensure a smooth and safe operation.
  • De Keizer also provides accurate lighting for the commercial helicopter deck, touch-and-go heli deck, and hangar lights, so you’ll be sure to meet all necessary requirements.

Data Connect

For all on board communication, De Keizer developed a network infrastructure called ‘Connect’. This product allows the owner, guests, crew and all other systems to communicate amongst one-another wherever they are, thus adding to the ease of vessel operations and a timely response to any requests.

We have created our Connect system specifically to meet these demands. Various means of communication are fully integrated with the network infrastructure. Steward Call functionality, and email communication all use the yacht’s reliable wired and wireless infrastructure. This eliminates the need for dedicated infrastructure, so saving time while reducing costs and complexity.

As all devices are connected to this network backbone. We chose products and designs that provide the reliability and performance needed to support this. We settle for nothing less than the highest quality.

Facts & figures:

  • Fiber backbone: 10 Gigabyte per second
  • 5.2 Gigabit per seconds WiFi infrastructure
  • Latest 802.11AC WiFi Standard

Brains Data Centre

Digital systems on board a yacht all require computing power to keep them running. Centralized management and storage of different yacht systems is a big win when it comes to efficiency. All the necessary computing power and storage space for all our products (Connect, Browse, Audio/Video, and Eyes) is supplied by the network: Brains.

The redundant servers from our Brains data centre run all the necessary software applications. The redundancy allows the system to continue in case one of the servers fails, and allows for uninterrupted service when maintaining or expanding the system.

The entire system is equipped with an enterprise backup solution. All backups are stored on a separate dedicate storage unit which is placed in a different part of the vessel. Backups are created for all systems running on Brains, creating the possibility to restore data (files, folders, emails etc.) and to revert the state of a system. The latter can be convenient when it is unsure what data has been changed/removed, for example in the unlikely case of a computer virus infection. Brains is also used to store all user credentials, files and folders, manage printers, allow remote management and to host emails and any vessel management software.

Facts & figures:

  • Redundant servers are equipped with:
  • Memory: 64 Gigabyte memory
  • Storage: 4096 Gigabyte
  • Back-up Storage: 4096 Gigabyte
