The Pulsar iFleetONE VMS terminal is the world’s only National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Office of Law Enforcement (OLE) type-approved kit for the Greater Atlantic federal fisheries. iFleetONE VMS operates on the Inmarsat global Alphasat and I-4 satellite network. Designed to be compact for small and mid-sized fishing and leisure vessels, it delivers the required yet affordable, tailored broadband data, voice, and VMS services.

Rebate Details

Effective January 5 2021, new reporting regulations require the owner or operator of a charter or headboat vessel with a Gulf federal for-hire permit to electronically declare a trip before leaving and to submit an electronic fishing report for each trip prior to offloading fish. For-hire vessel operators must report all species caught, regardless of where fished. They must also install permanent approved location tracking hardware/software with GPS capabilities that transmits data to the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) / National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). For-hire trip declarations cannot be submitted using the commercial telephone system or unapproved software.

Fishing vessels affected by the regulations that do not have NMFS/NOAA’s type-approved Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) but have purchased an approved Enhanced Mobile Transceiver Unit (E-MTU) device to comply with the NMFS/NOAA’s regulations, are eligible for a VMS rebate of up to $3100 under a Pacific States Marine Fisheries commission reimbursement scheme

While at sea, the iFleetONE VMS will be your primary connection source for all of your VMS and operational communications needs – making it easy to talk, text, and send and receive emails. It offers one voice line and data up to 150kbps – ideal for accessing full-color weather images, navigational charts and routing information, as well as sending reports and browsing the web.

The iFleetONE VMS terminal offers many rich value-added features including:

• VMS Approved
• Built-in Firewall
• Built-in Wi-Fi for wireless mobility and smartphone applications accessibility
• Standard IP Data with one user accessible Primary PDP Context
• Built-in Web Console (English and Simplified Chinese languages)
• Remote Access for diagnostics, configuration and management
• SIM Lock based on IMSI/APN
• Data Connection ON / OFF Control via external remote switch
• Volume limited access for data sessions
• Radio Silence (radio transmission on/off) Control via external remote switch
• Configurable Restricted dialing – to prevent unauthorized outgoing calls
• Configurable Forced dialing – with SAC configuration – to enable crew calling
• Built-in SIP server supporting third party VoIP devices/ applications
• Automatic and on-demand position reporting and fleet tracking capability including geo-fencing, with up to 10 polygon areas configurable

With a compact antenna and an easy to install below deck unit (BDU), the iFleetONE VMS is small but powerful, with special features such as:

• 3-axis stabilized Antenna (including ATC-Resilience, Extended L-band and IP56 protection capability)
• Primary handset (optional) : IP66 environmental protection
• NEA 0183 continuous GPS output
• No Fuse – Utilizes an intelligent circuit breaker protection
• Appends GPS position to SMS

The iFleetONE VMS includes a Primary Handset with a large color LCD display and mobile phone type keys for test messaging. The BDU with its additional RJ11 phone port can connect either a standard corded or cordless phone.

For internet service, you can simply connect the iFleetONE VMS to an on-board computer network using the standard RJ45 Ethernet connection. With NAT and DHCP functions, iFleetONE VMS offers both single user(modem) and multi-user router modes. Utilizing MAC address filtering and firewall features, it offers unmatched access security and uses secure IP-based technology which greatly enhances the privacy of your voice and data communications.

The internal GPS receiver and GPS output in NMEA 0183 format of the iFleetONE VMS can also be used to provide accurate position information to onboard systems such as plotters and depth sounders.

Charges are made for the kilobytes of data sent and received, not the time used. Flexible, seasonal air-time pricing and preferential pricing regions makes the iFleetONE VMS affordable for smaller vessels.

Pulsar Addvalue Vessel Monitoring System (VMS)
