boat’s BoatSecure device detect a problem, a message can now be

transmitted over large distances via the LoRaWan network. he owner

automatically – and immediately – receives an alert via the BoatSecure

app on his smartphone.

McDermott says while the system is available to individual

subscribers, BoatSecure is in discussion with several marinas around

the country to explore ‘leet’ applications, where boat electricians or

marina operators can use a web dashboard to monitor and manage

many boats simultaneously.

“We encourage boat owners to sign up to a leet manager service

with either their marina or local marine electrician. With the owner’s

permission the boat status and alerts are shared so when any issues

arise someone is on-hand to respond and check that the boat is OK or

to address any problems.”

HOW MUCH?

BoatSecure is a subscriber service. Depending on how a system is

conigured for a boat owner, says McDermott, a typical system will

be less than $1,000 (excluding the installation costs), with an annual

subscription of less than $200. He recommends a professional rather

than a DIY installation to ensure system reliability.

BoatSecure will be launching overseas over the next few months. BNZ
