PHOTO COURTESY BOAT FIXTelematics and monitoring company Boat Fix has opened a Command & Control Center in Southport, Conn. It will be staffed around the clock seven days per week.
Boat Fix is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to communicate with boaters in real time with the Boat Fix Pro app, or through voice, text, email or two-way video chat. The center also monitors unauthorized use of customers’ boats and has direct lines to law enforcement.
“Boats are left unattended 98% of the time, which is precisely when problems start,” Boat Fix founder Alastair Crawford said in a statement. “Around-the-clock, remote monitoring and GPS tracking, backed by a 24/7 Command & Control Center, ensures a safer, more secure and stress-free boating experience.”
Using on-board telematics and software, low-voltage and high-voltage alarms generate graphical, real-time views of battery performance, while the Command & Control Center monitors bilge and high-water alarms.
“When you’re not aboard, Boat Fix monitors your boat just like a home security company monitors your home,” CEO Steve Pitsos added. “When you’re on your boat, under propulsion, the Boat Fix Command & Control Center monitors moving vessels like an air traffic control tower operation.”
