Ensure safe waterway navigation with virtual marker buoys
NaviSuite Perio
NaviSuite Perio allows you to accurately deploy multiple virtual buoys for AIS navigation aids at a fraction of the cost of physical buoys.
NaviSuite Perio offers a unique approach to navigational aiding, by enabling you to deploy a high number of any buoy type as virtual buoys so they appear correctly on AIS displays on nearby vessels. This is an alternative or a supplement to the deployment of physical buoys.
Typical use includes:
- Marking the deepest part of the sailing channel for extra large vessels approaching
- Marking temporary construction areas, cable lay areas, etc
- Marking subsea equipment such as towed seismic equipment or our own ScanFish
NaviSuite Perio helps you save on the cost of deployment of marker buoys – as virtual buoys stay in the right place, can easily be moved, don’t require service and are free to deploy and recover.
Highlighted features
NaviSuite Perio software allows for:
- 3D visualisation of seabed, navigation charts, buoys, etc
- Placement of buoys via the software on exact location based on latest seabed survey
- All AIS AtoN buoy types supported
- Built-in quality control – NaviSuite Perio will listen for the buoy data and verify that it is received as it is sent
- Easy control of transmission being on/off
We use the AIS AtoN (Aid to Navigation) standard that allows for transmission of virtual object positions – in our case 250 or more buoys positioned in the software.
The hardware items of a complete system solution as a minimum encompass AIS transponder, AIS antenna, antenna cable, mounting bracket, etc, thereby allowing for transmission of the buoys' positions from shore.
