A portable remote-monitoring package for hazardous vessels, providing status and alerts without relying on an existing installed vessel-monitoring system. The Coast Guard describes cellular connectivity with satellite failover.
Technical detail
Core features
CCG describes GNSS, accelerometer/gyroscope, float, door and camera sensing.
Satellite telemetry automatically takes over when cellular connectivity is unavailable; the camera operates with cellular reception.
The 2023 government description lists about 35lb weight, solar charging and a 559 x 356 x 229mm enclosure.
