Satamatics' worldwide telematics services provide the critical enabling technology for Ship Security Alert Systems (SSAS), Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS), fishery monitoring, fleet management, asset tracking and tracing, controlling and monitoring remote sites, security applications and personnel safety.

Headquartered in the UK, Satamatics works with Application Service Providers all around the world, to develop and deploy end-to-end service solutions across the world's ocean regions and landmasses.

Satamatics' unique global service and fully automatic roaming capability provide seamless coverage throughout the world, operating completely independently of terrestrial-based infrastructures such as cell-phone or radio networks, and avoiding their limitations of range or availability.

The service utilises the Inmarsat system of geostationary satellites (see coverage maps) and the Inmarsat D+ two-way communications protocol, ensuring maximum quality of service and the fastest message delivery times.

Satamatics' own satellite gateways are installed in Land Earth Stations at strategic locations around the world.

Two-way message transmissions are processed and routed by Satamatics network data centres, bringing the data direct to your desktop, laptop, mobile phone or PDA via the Internet, or to your mobile phone via SMS.

Secure and reliable communication is maintained through built-in redundancy and 'hot-swap' capability, from all Land Earth Stations through to the network data centres and Internet links.

Unlike other systems, Satamatics system can automatically switch between geostationary satellites without any intervention as ships sail the high seas, allowing complete, seamless and uninterrupted global roaming across all ocean regions of the world.

Ultra-Low Elevation Angle

Sealed and certified to IP66 for operation above decks in heavy seas, Satamatics' compact and concealable omni-directional antenna maintains reliable communications with satellites at elevations as low as just five degrees above the horizon, ensuring unrivalled levels of operation.

Intelligent Satellite Terminal

Satamatics System utilises the compact and easily concealable Satamatics SAT-101 advanced satellite terminal with integrated 12-channel GPS receiver, D+ transceiver, programmable processor and integrated back-up battery.

The SAT 201 satellite terminal is the latest in a line of products from Satamatics and is based on the highly successful SAT 101. This next generation satellite terminal is unique as terminal and antenna are one small compact unit. It delivers the same level of programmability and reliability as the SAT 101 terminal but in a more compact and economical package, making it ideal for covert installations. With research, experience and knowledge, Satamatics have discovered that there is a real need for a terminal in the market place which has all the attributes of the SAT 201. With a reduced number of I/O's, but still with 12 GPS channels and no battery pack incorporated in the unit, it is ideal to use if you have your own "black box" solution. Based on proven technology the SAT 201 is simple to install, easy to configure with data logging capability and it requires low power consumption. It is robust and is suitable for many environments as it can withstand temperatures down to -40c and up to +70c.

Satamatics' Inmarsat-based D+ worldwide telematics services provides customised, end-to-end tracking and monitoring solutions that will work anywhere in the world. With over 100,000 terminals operating on its network, Satamatics enables land transport, security, maritime and oil and gas organisations to locate, track and communicate with mobile assets, safeguard their fleets, cargo and personnel, and monitor their fixed and mobile assets in the most hostile or remote terrains across the globe.

Headquartered in the UK with offices in the US, Satamatics' global services provide seamless coverage throughout the world, and include secure access to the company's modern network of satellite gateways and data handling centres. The service utilizes the Inmarsat system of geostationary satellites to ensure maximum quality of service, the fastest message delivery times.
