Since its introduction in the early 1990's, NavLink has consistently proved to be a reliable AtoN management system, with the capacity to handle many AtoN data point connections and the means to remote monitor and control the functionality of AtoN's.
As related technology developed, Tideland Signal has incorporated these advancements into NavLink (MODBUS for example). The one challenge to Tideland was the dependability of an Authority's communication medium. Recognising this, Tideland aggressively improved upon NavLink's operating software to develop advanced functions that would recognise a disruption in the system's communication routing path, automatically re-routing the data communication signal from one AtoN to another and maintaining the integrity of the system. This "Mesh Network" was the first to be designed for AtoN applications.
For most applications standard equipment is available. RMC-3 is a remote communication unit that can be used on a buoy or lighthouse for example. For applications with a more complex monitoring requirement an MC-1 is used.
NavLink is versatile and many forms of communication media can be used such as Satellite, VHF radio, cellular telephone and new technologies such as AIS.
AIS remote monitoring is coming of age and when used with the Informer V03, NavLink provides not only a remote monitoring and control system but a system to improve mariner safety. |
