Vessel tracking is a major issue for pleasure boaters, operators of NUCs without AIS and river freight professionals. To meet this need, BoatOn has announced a new integration that will revolutionise fleet management: Qondor beacons are now natively compatible with BoatOn Book. This is a major step forward in terms of efficiently tracking a boat's position without the need for a conventional AIS.
A cost-effective and efficient alternative for vessel tracking
Until now, the AIS (Automatic Identification System) has been the benchmark solution for locating ships. However, it is not always suitable for certain types of craft. The high cost of installation, the complexity of the system and the fact that it takes up too much space on small vessels are notorious constraints. Simpler and lighter, Qondor beacons offer an interesting alternative, making it possible to track a boat or fleet at lower cost, using the 2G/3G network.
With native integration into the BoatOn Book, users benefit from automatic position tracking with instant data generation in their logbook. It's an ideal solution for improving navigation management and safety.
Native integration in the BoatOn Book
The integration of Qondor beacons into the BoatOn Book enables smooth, automatic synchronisation of vessel positions. In practical terms, this means that every movement of the boat is recorded and transcribed into the logbook without any manual intervention. This automation makes it easier to manage routes, monitor vessels and optimise movements.
Key points of this integration :
Real-time tracking: your boat's position can be viewed directly in BoatOn Book.
Automatic logbook generation: instant recording of navigation data.
Low cost: a more affordable solution than AIS, without compromising on accuracy.
Simple installation: compatible with all boats without AIS.
A solution adapted to different browser profiles
Whether you're a yachtsman, NUC operator or river freight professional, integrating Qondor beacons into the BoatOn Book offers a solution tailored to your needs:
For yachtsmen: a simple way of tracking and archiving your navigations without complex installation.
For NUCs without AIS: a practical solution for monitoring your boats without investing in an AIS system.
For river freight: more regular and accurate monitoring than AIS to improve logistics management.
A word of caution: dependence on the 2G/3G network
While this technology offers many advantages, it has one major limitation: it relies on the 2G/3G network. This means that in areas where there is no coverage, tracking cannot be guaranteed in real time. It is therefore essential to check network coverage before adopting this solution for optimal navigation.
