Interesting comparative table of satellite devices

admin — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 10:02:30 +0000

In AtPosition they have published an interesting table comparing the different satellite positioning devices in the market.

Since we are frequently asked for the differences, it is interesting to understand more about them so that you can know which one suits you best.

New AtPosition website

admin — Sat, 22 May 2010 21:53:02 +0000

We have remade completely the AtPosition website for satellite tracking of boats.

The new website let’s our users control completely where they want their boats to show up. Besides, with their own web access, they can control a historic file of all the position messages and demand a remote position message of their transponder from the web, especially useful for private users willing to control their boats remotely and charter companies.

Many more features will be available soon and we just can’t wait to show you!!

We want to recommend our readers interested in learning about new radiocommunication technologies and/or meteorology to get in touch with Capiclub, web about boating education developed by experts with many years of experience at sea.

Besides you can get in touch with them to take real practical sailing classes. Nothing like the typical classes that only let you get the permission.

With Capiclub you will really learn!!

The future of AIS is here

In Atlantic Source we are glad to introduce yet again the latest in AIS technology.

The AIS CTRX CARBON + Transponder is a class B AIS transponder with built in splitter, so installation has become easier than never before.

But that’s not all, since this transponder is ready to connect to the digital sensors on board that will let you or personnel in your marina or harbour, in the not-far future monitor your vessel in your mobile phone or desktop.

You can read more specs in the following link.

Korea 2002

admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 20:58:13 +0000

Some of the readers in our blog will wonder what are we doing writing about Korea 2002, especially if we explain that we mean 2002′s football’s world championship.

But there is a good reason, and it is that Koke Contreras, former goalkeeper in several 1st division teams, has decided to say hello to one of the referees that kicked us out of the championship, citizen of Trinidad&Tobago.

And he has decided that the best way to do is by crossing the Atlantic in his sailing boat. We will be tracking it on his way. We thought it is a very fun idea.

Koke has written about the history in Marca, Spain’s most visited sports newspaper. Track him here.

Gran Prix II

admin — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 22:52:20 +0000

The Gran Prix regatta has finally started later than expected due to meteo conditions, but finally became a success as expected; with 13 participants we have an average of 1500 visits per day and dozens of people have signed up for the satellite messaging service.

We are especially proud of the grib web-based visual application. In the regatta it lets you visualize the forecasted wind in the next 3 hours.

We hope to improve the wind app in the next few weeks so that all forecasted times by the grib data can be visualized in the application.

GRAN PRIX DEL ATLÁNTICO 2010

In Atlantic we are very glad that we’ve been selected once again to track the boats in the 2010 edition of the Gran Prix regatta.

Motivated by the success in the former edition, we will be introducing a few improvements in order to add more participative and safety related features to the tracking webpage.

Among them we’ll introduce our Iridium messaging twitter service. Please sign up here and visit our page here to know more.

ANAVRE

Just a few words tu support from here ANAVRE, the new Spanish Association of leisure boaters, that is born willing to defend the rights of both users and owners of leisure boats.

They have started pushing strong and we rely from both the user and the company-in-the-industry point of view that they will turn this activity in a right in itself and not in a luxury for a few ones as it is seen in Spain at the moment.
