Tailored for 21st Century Vessels
BlueTraker® VMS transponder is a communication terminal specifically developed to monitor fishing vessels globally. It uses hybrid satellite and GSM/GPRS communication channels to transmit position, speed and heading in real-time to the fisheries management authority. BlueTraker VMS transponder can also send catch reports as well as fishing effort data from our BlueSenz range of sensors. Moreover, the BlueTraker VMS transponder offers bidirectional communication between vessel and Fisheries Monitoring Center via Bluetooth using our smartphone application (BTApp) or through ConBox 2018 LCD device.
Truly Global GPS Tracking
The onboard BlueTraker VMS device collects vessel positions using GPS satellite signals and sends them together with speed, heading and sensor data to the telematic data server.
- All-in-One Integrated Terminal
-
All electronics inside a single terminal housing: Central Processing Board, GPS/GLONASS receiver, GPRS modem, Iridium modem, backup rechargeable battery
- Truly Global Coverage
-
Iridium enables tracking fishing vessels with the BlueTracker VMS wherever they might be, including Sea Area A4, for truly global tracking of even dispersed fleets
- Real-Time Communication
-
Two-way communication is available in real-time, allowing information to be relayed once every 15 minutes
- Hybrid Communication Channel
-
Can be configured according to several reporting schemes with economic option to use satellite communication channel while navigating high seas and GPRS in coastal or GPRS covered waters
- Security & Safety
-
Integrated mechanical, electrical and electromagnetic safety and security features to avoid tampering/fraud and providing mariner safety, including IN-PORT and ALERT buttons
- Data Encryption & Authentication
-
Prevents unauthorized data modification, by using asymmetric 256bit key authentication; Checks authorization rights assigned to all periphery prevents to avoid sending unauthenticated external data
- Embedded Geozones
-
Minimum (100), geographical areas (polygons and associated rules) in the form of geofences can be remotely uploaded, edited, activated and deactivated for each terminal
- Flexible Options, Fixed Monthly Costs
-
A solution for vessels at sea needing global communications at an affordable price
