Increasingly, governments are mandating the use of Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) for monitoring location of fishing vessels in order to protect and manage fish stocks, as well as to protect borders from intruders. Enforcement of fishing and border regulations can be a challenge due to limited at-sea patrolling capabilities. However, introducing a SkyWave satellite tracking system will significantly reduce enforcement costs. Government bodies that have selected a solution powered by SkyWave enjoy many benefits, including the following:

Up-to-the-minute information on violations and emergencies.

Be notified when fishermen send emergency signal, and quickly identify when vessels have entered closed areas by using geofencing capabilities and GPS location information.

Message reporting frequency control.

Easily change reporting frequency on the vessel with two-way communication services that feature low message latency.

Reliable two-way satellite communication with low-latency.

Relay critical information through the use of cost-effective text messaging services.

Advanced monitoring.

Easily monitor external sensors through the digital and analog input and output ports.

Minimal financial impact on fishermen.

Adopt a solution with low communication terminal costs and flexible network service plans.
