Monitoreo satelital de la flota marítima del parque nacional Galápagos usando red satelital

Abstract

This project provides a solution to a need for communication of the maritime fleet of the Galapagos National Park through satellite text messaging and GPS location of its ships. This would be an additional communication tool beside the already installed on vessels such as the radio, and it is very useful as it would reach places where radio coverage and other mainstream media does not exist. In addition to the exact GPS location, we can get graphic reports of the ships trajectories by using a control and monitoring system called GeoTracker. This project will serve 10 boats of the Galapagos National Park that are in continuous operation, and because of its working conditions at sea, most of the time they are uncommunicated, and in case of any eventuality such as getting stuck or having an accident, our data communication project could send text messages requesting for help to a monitoring earth station and through the GPS get the exact location of the boat and execute any rescue action.
