San Diego, California, January 4, 2012 - Boatracs Inc., a leader in providing integrated satellite communications and software solutions to the maritime industry, announced it has acquired a 12,500 square-foot office building in San Diego, California as a space for their Corporate Headquarters.

A sales office is also maintained in New Iberia, Louisiana to serve its customers in the Gulf of Mexico.

“We are extremely proud to have obtained this building for our new headquarters,” said Irwin Rodrigues, President and CEO of Boatracs. “With the launch of two new products in 2011, and additional services scheduled for release throughout 2012, this facility is ideally suited to accommodate our growth strategy.
