Hardware options

The MAT range of hardware enables the user to select the transceiver unit that meets their specific operational requirements.

MAT1 for vessels with stable power supply eg tugs and support vessels, ideal for both routine tracking and, with its variable reporting capability, monitoring vessels transiting high risk areas.

MAT3 offers a low-maintenance option for unpowered vessels eg barges, “dead” tows, unattended installations. The unit's non-rechargeable battery guarantees 12 months uninterrupted reporting.

MAT5, designed specifically for Rig/Platform Monitoring Management, uses the onboard power supply to power the unit in normal operating conditions. In the event of a power failure, internal and external batteries will continue to power the unit for a further 14 days.
