Our team worked hard to develop a solution to use the ComAp DCU marine controllers adhering to tight deadlines to meet our customer’s expectations. This is a really big milestone for AST as it is the first time our iRAMS IoT solution has landed off the coast of the USA. We couldn’t be prouder of the achievement.”
