Transas Accepts LRIT Standalone Solution

LRIT partner for Flag State of Japan supports SkyWave solution.

Gothenburg, Sweden and Ottawa, Canada – 16 December, 2008 – Transas in co-operation with Skywave and other Recognised ASP organisations, has built a new dedicated system exclusively for Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT).

The new LRIT system is based on the IsatM2M network service. Transas is one of the first testing ASP to perform conformance tests on ISATM2M network with the LRIT onboard terminal Skywave800LRIT. This will result in a reliable and more economical LRIT solution for the shipowners around the world and likewise for the Flag States.

The Skywave DMR-800LRIT dedicated hardware unit will be exclusively registered on the new system, allowing only LRIT Recognized ASPs or LRIT Data Centre Managers appointed by their Flag to register and control equipment on the system.

The new system meets all of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) LRIT specifications with respect to data content, data frequency and quality of service. Additionally, the DMR-800LRIT terminal provides a global standard that can be seamlessly remotely controlled by any LRIT Recognized ASP and facilitate flag transfers (ASP to ASP) without 3rd party involvement.

IsatM2M is an enhanced operating mode of Skywave's trusted D+ service, developed to meet increasing market demand for dependable two-way communications with global coverage. The new DMR-800 series terminals represent the latest development of Skywave’s field-proven DMR product series, purpose-built for use with the Skywave IsatM2M service.
