Make the Connection
With Sea Smart™
you can connect to shore, to home, to marine assistance professionals,
or to fellow boaters — all using your existing VHF radio's technology.
Connect to Shore
Imagine never again having to worry about venturing out of phone range
while on the water, or having to wait to get close enough to shore to
tell your family you're on the way home. Now imagine using your existing
VHF radio to call anyone — local or long distance — right
from your boat! With Sea Smart you can.
As a Sea Smart
subscriber you can use your boat's VHF to direct dial our marine operators,
who will then patch your call through to anyone in the continental U.S.,
with no call limits or overage charges. Ship-to-shore phone calls are
now available. With the key of your VHF's mic, you're connected.
Connect
to Marine Assistance
The Sea Smart network is comprised of
large, coastal "high site" radio towers that connect, via
RoIP (the Internet), to a national operations center manned by marine
dispatchers and licensed captains 24-hours a day. Your boat's location
is regularly tracked by our Web-based charting software.
As a Sea Smart
subscriber, should you ever need assistance on the water, you will be
directly connected to our marine assistance professionals with your
boat's exact location. Greater "Peace of Mind on the Water"™
is now available. With Sea Smart, you're
connected.
Connect to Home
Sea
Smart's Automatic Vessel Location (AVL) capability lets land-locked
loved ones track your boat's exact location right from your home computer.
No more worrying the family if your fishing sojourns take you into the
deep blue or off to the secluded hot spots where your cell has no coverage.
As a Sea Smart
subscriber, you will receive your own, unique MMSI number that contains
all your boat's pertinent information. And because your DSC-enabled
VHF is connected to your GPS, Sea Smart
can send that information directly to your home or office computer.
Vessel location, trip tracking and poll positioning are now available.
With a click of the mouse, you're connected.
Innovation Through Application
The most innovative aspect of Sea
Smart's service is its ability to use your
boat's existing equipment to provide a much needed application for your
DSC-enabled VHF — a reliable communications connection. That connection
includes Automatic Vessel Location (AVL), trip tracking, position plotting,
unlimited local and long distance calls, and 24-hour marine operators,
for a flat rate. Now that's innovative!
