Applications for EPIC Link

The EPIC Link provides the perfect coverage for a range of communication missions

AIS Ship TRacking

AIS

Automatic Identification System (AIS) provides much needed ship position, identification, and other information sets to other ships and to coastal authorities automatically.

IoT

IoT can help organisations gain a better understanding of how their assets are performing, enable smart asset tracking in logistics, and even transform cities into smart cities, improving road safety, unifying and managing transportation systems and traffic and saving energy to provide a better experience for residents.

VDES

By adding space-based capability to VDES, the communication system’s range increases from the shoreline to anywhere in the ocean, converting what is currently a predominantly coastal system into a global maritime system.
