The
NAV-TRACKER GPS Vessel Tracking system is
directly responsible for the recovery of various high
profile vessels; some in less than 1 hour (for
full story click here).
As theft is increasing in these difficult economic times
the NAV-TRACKER record of recovering
vessels is unmatched. The NAV-TRACKER
has been directly responsible for the recovery of 4
vessels in the last 6 months and the numbers keep
growing (3/2009). The NAV-TRACKER is
the only satellite ship tracking system
to receive a medal from the US Coast Guard for its
assistance in recovering stolen vessels in the Bahamas (more
info on this and other recoveries click here)
 Insurance
advantages
The NAV-TRACKER is now required by some
insurance companies, and will attract substantial
discounts from most others*. These companies recognize
the NAV-TRACKER as the market leader in
stolen vessel recovery, and they want to get the stolen
vessels back. In fact the discounts offered by some
insurance companies may completely offset the cost of
the unit in as little as one year.
How
it works
The NAV-TRACKER is a self contained
Inmarsat Satellite based GPS monitoring
system. The system receives its position from the
GPS Satellites and then relays that
information over the Inmarsat Satellite Network to the
ground stations and then on to our servers. At this
point the information is available on any computer with
an internet connection and it will automatically send up
to 10 emails and/or text message’s notifying of events
on the vessel. The NAV-TRACKER can be
controlled remotely from our new 3rd generation tracker
website
www.nav-tracker.com
(launched 3/2009). This allows owners to keep track of
their vessels from anywhere in the world including their
home or offices.
New
Website & Partner
Paradox Marine has partnered with EMS Satamatics-
a leading IsatM2M provider and a
division of EMS Technologies Inc. - an
innovator in the design and manufacture of wireless,
satellite and defense solutions. They provide
NAV-TRACKER systems with the core modem
technology and the required ground earth stations. To
launch
www.nav-tracker.com
a third generation tracker website which incorporates an
advanced Google Earth interface
allowing users to overlay a trace (breadcrumb trail) of
their vessel, or fleet of vessels, with
their exact current location and precisely where they
have been. On the new site, users can track the
movement, adjust the geo-fence radius and reporting
intervals for a boat, or a fleet of boats,
located anywhere in the world.
Other unique features of the new site include the
ability to arm/disarm the geo-fence & sensors from the
website, ping/poll the vessel at any time for the
vessel’s exact position, have up to 10 text or email
recipients for alerts with the ability to select which
alerts go to which users. The website’s advanced
technology even allows multiple users to hold different
levels of access to the site, from view only options to
complete control of entire fleets.
Covert
Installation
An added feature that adds to the success of the
NAV-TRACKER is its ability to transmit through
a ˝ inch of solid fiberglass. This allows the
NAV-TRACKER to be hidden onboard and not alert
thieves to its presence.
Unrivalled
reliability: the Inmarsat Advantage
Our system has a huge advantage over the competition It
is Inmarsat based which means it has truly global
coverage with the exception of the extreme north and
south poles (see map). Most other satellite ship
tracking systems do not come close to this
capability. You can depend on Inmarsat, whatever the
weather. Inmarsat provides an average network
availability exceeding 99.99 per cent. The
NAV-TRACKER terminals are designed specifically
for use within the marine environment and are rigorously
tested to our exacting standards.
Coverage Map
Geo-fence
features
When armed. the NAV-TRACKER sets a
geo-fence (radius) around the vessel.
If the vessel moves outside the geo-fence the
NAV-TRACKER will send up to 10 emails or text
messages notifying recipients that the system is in
geo-fence breach and provide the vessels
latitude, longitude, speed, heading and
distance to closest city. It will continue to
send this information every 2 to 30 minutes (user
preference, can be set on new website and changed when
in breach), until the ship returns to
its original geo-fence area or is disarmed (locally or
on the website).

Two way communication
Unlike most of the competition, the NAV-TRACKER
is capable of two way communication. This allows for
control of the system remotely. It is
possible to remotely arm/disarm the
geo-fence (security radius) and arm/disarm the security
& monitoring sensors. Owners can also poll/ping
the vessel for its exact position at that time,
adjust the reporting intervals for normal position
reports & geo-fence breach reports and adjust the radius
of the geo-fence.
Fleet Monitoring capabilities
Commercial & charter fleet operators can easily manage
their fleets from one login. With the new website owners
can set different levels of control and access for
different users. For example, one person could be set up
as a ‘Fleet Manager’ and be able to
view all vessels in the fleet and have complete control,
while others could have very limited access and be ‘viewers’
with view only access to only one vessel in the
fleet. |
