Agreement to Supply AIS Technology to the RNLI
The Directors of Software Radio Technology plc ("SRT") are pleased to announce
that SRT Marine Technology Limited has signed an agreement with Raycomm
Electronics Limited to supply SRT's AIS Class B transceivers for use in a
system being developed by Raycomm for the RNLI to assist in tracking and
management of its fleet of lifeboats.
Adopting new technology which enhances search and rescue capability is a high
on the agenda for the RNLI. Extensive trials of SRT Marine Technology's AIS
Class B transceivers carried out in the Solent on a number of RNLI All-Weather
Lifeboats demonstrated the significant benefits for the RNLI.
Neil Peniket, SRT Marine Technology's Managing Director said: "We have invested
significantly in sea trials of our Class B products here in the UK and
throughout the world. The reliability and functionality of our solution is
crucial for the RNLI."
Mark Morgan, Radiocommunications Project Officer with the RNLI said: "The RNLI
considers AIS Class B to be an important technology in augmenting existing
search and rescue systems."
Richard Thatcher, Raycomm's Managing Director said: "Our expertise in
integrating leading edge technologies to provide complete product solutions is
enabling the RNLI to achieve an ever more rapid and successful response in a
search and rescue situation."
