This document summarizes a vessel monitoring system that tracks vessel positions and status using coastal stations and an on-board system. It can receive weather broadcasts, display SOS messages, and warn of territorial violations. The technology uses .NET, SQL Server and Windows 7. It costs $9.15 million to deploy to 30,000 vessels compared to a competitor's $19 million for 3,000 vessels. Future plans include testing the system on fishing boats to improve stability and support for multiple users.

10. Issues & Future Plans
• Issues
– Lack of practical test results
– Not stable yet

11. Issue & Future Plans
• Future plans:
– Improve software-modem (FEC, modulation
techniques…)
– Deploy and test in real life environment (on
fishing boats)
– Experiment with multiple users (fishing boats)
