Over seventeen million artisanal fishermen subsist off of their daily catch. They can’t afford the satellite solutions large commercial fishing vessels can. The McMurdo Group offers a unique RPMA-enabled boat tracking and two-way communication device that gives these fishermen a life-line in troubled waters and enables nations to monitor fishing in their waters.
Fatalities from capsized vessels can be prevented with RPMA® (Random Phase Multiple Access) connectivity. Because RPMA can reach 40 miles over open water, these fishermen now have access to continuous tracking and a panic button that allows fisherman to signal a distress situation, notifying other vessels in the area that a rescue is required.
