SAN DIEGO, Calif. - March 26, 2001
- Boatracs®, a business unit of
Advanced Remote Communication Solutions,
Inc. (ARCOMS) (OTCBB: BTRK), announced
today that it will feature its Internet
e-mail functionality and new VComm
IP™ software suite at the Eastern
Canadian Fisheries Exposition in Yarmouth,
Nova Scotia to be held April 6-8.
As the Canadian operation for Boatracs,
Oceantrac Inc. will host the exhibit
showcasing Boatracs’ host of
marine communications products that
aid fleet managers in optimizing their
operations. Boatracs’ Internet
e-mail provides cost-effective, reliable,
and confidential communications, delivered
any time, in any weather, via Cancom’s
network of earth stations and satellites.
File delivery from shore-to-ship,
ship-to-shore or between boats can
be processed with one interface, and
special software is not required for
PCs on shore.
According to Charles J. Drobny
Jr., Chief Operating Officer for
Boatracs, ”Our Internet e-mail
service allows fishermen to schedule
supply pick-ups, equipment repairs
or other provisions prior to pulling
into port, which increases efficiency
and reduces downtime. Boatracs’
users send and receive e-mail, faxes,
and data throughout Canada, North
America or anywhere in the world.
Whether they are in Nova Scotia,
Quebec or British Columbia, staying
in touch is as close as their home
or office PC. With Boatracs’
optional subscription services,
fishermen can also receive timely
information on weather and water
temperatures, while at sea, facilitating
informed decisions that may contribute
to a successful haul.”
The VComm IP software suite, along
with Boatracs’ 24/7/365 Network
Operations Center (NOC), automates
and manages data queuing, scheduling,
transmission, and provides fleet
tracking information for the maritime
fleet operator via the Internet.
”VComm IP software was recently
introduced to complement Boatracs’
expanding range of marine communication
services,” stated Drobny.
”The major advantage of VComm
IP is its unique ability to reduce
the cost of sending data files.
VComm IP enables users to initiate
shore–to–ship transfers
at a substantially lower rate. An
additional benefit for Boatracs’
Canadian customers is that VComm
IP extends existing satellite coverage
for vessels in the Labrador channel
and North Atlantic.”
Boatracs will be located in booth
#404 at the Eastern Canadian Fisheries
Exposition at the Yarmouth Arena.
