EMA has launched the world’s first Iridium transponder BlueTraker®LRIT, compliant with Long range identification and tracking IMO resolution.

Most common ships tracking devices communicate telematic data through satellite networks, but leave customers marooned paying high data delivery costs. BlueTraker®LRIT closes this gap and reduces costs automatically and effectively while using the Iridium low Earth orbiting satellite network.

Iridium constellation is the only one offering a truly 100% global coverage from pole to pole while competition CSP (communication service providers) only covers a part of the land and the oceans – only up to 70° latitude.

Fully compliant with International maritime standards and regulations BlueTraker®LRIT introduces

• Transponder with integrated and robust design
• Simple installation by the crew
• Automatic Position Report (APR)
-identity of the ship
-position of the ship
-date and time of the position
• On-demand position report polling
• Real time position reporting down to once every 15 minutes
• Worldwide coverage and optimisation in running costs

To make it operational you simply connect the transceiver to power via the standard cable and submit transceiver details upon request from the flag state data centre.

BlueTraker®LRIT is EMA’s product that is considered the benchmark for sophisticated automatic track analysis in the maritime domain.

September 1st 2008, EMA opened the order book on BlueTraker®LRIT user-friendly Long Range Identification & Tracking transponder, for the first deliveries end of October 2008.

Change is inevitable…Go for BlueTraker®LRIT!
