ISurface Iridium Surface Beacon

ISurface Iridium Surface Beacon

Polar to Polar, Intelligent Connected Sea Assets

ISurface is a lightweight, self-contained, user maintainable two-way GPS satellite beacon in the NOVATECH series, designed specifically for surface buoys, mooring systems, and open sea asset tracking. This product fully utilizes the capabilities of the Iridium satellite network, providing global coverage from polar to polar regions and suitable for long-term deployment missions. ISurface is powered by standard "D" type batteries, easy to install, and can operate stably for about 1.5 years in typical application scenarios, sending up to 4500 short burst data messages. It is an ideal choice for water surface monitoring in harsh marine environments.
