exactEarth Limited, (“exactEarth” or the “Company”) the leading company of Satellite AIS information solutions, has actually signed up with a global initiative to construct an unmanned, totally self-governing transatlantic research study vessel that is readied to release on the 4th centenary of the initial Mayflower trip. exactEarth signs up with a renowned global task group led by ProMare as well as its innovation companion, IBM.
The Mayflower Autonomous Ship (MAS) goal will certainly not just celebrate the initial Mayflower going across, however additionally breakthrough modern technologies that can change the delivery market as well as aid collect essential information concerning the sea.
exactEarth will certainly add 2 of its solutions to the MAS task:
- exactAIS: the supply of online satellite AIS information right into the goal’s procedures centre, where this information will certainly increase the neighborhood AIS image accumulated by the ship’s onboard AIS transceiver by offering a real-time over-the perspective sight throughout the trip.
- exactSeNS: making use of exactEarth’s VHF-based M2M satellite interactions solution to post sensing unit information in real-time from the ship’s on-board climate terminal, using an exactEarth-supplied on-board transmitter.
- The exactAIS information solution supplies versatile accessibility to all the AIS messages caught by exactView ™ RT, the Company’s second-generation satellite constellation. exactView RT includes 58 functional hauls as well as 7 orbital spares that were created as well as constructed by L3Harris Corporation which are held onboard the Iridium NEXT constellation of satellites, which is possessed as well as run byIridium Communications Inc exactView RT tracks a populace of greater than 500,000 distinct vessels globally as well as creates Average Global Revisit prices as well as Average Latency prices of much less than one min.

exactSeNS utilizes ‘Application Specific Messages’ (ASM) maritime VHF regularities as well as exactEarth’s AIS satellite hauls to supply a real-time worldwide mobile satcom solution that can accumulate information from sensing units on a variety of maritime properties, consisting of ships, buoys, self-governing as well as ecological systems as well as navigational help. ASM becomes part of the development of the ‘Automatic Identification System’ (AIS) criterion right into the ‘VHF Data Exchange System’ (VDES).
“We are pleased to be a part of a prestigious group that is collaborating on ways to leverage advances in technology to enhance both the future of global shipping as well as our environmental relationship with the world’s oceans,” stated Peter Dorcas, Vice President, Business Development at exactEarth. “This is a unique opportunity for us to trial exactSeNS as part of an initiative that, if successful, could lead to the greater adoption of autonomous shipping as well as demonstrating how the service could create new opportunities for exactEarth in the broader maritime information market.”
