The company’s cutting-edge, environmentally-friendly, GSM Monitoring & Alarm System technology beat thousands of entries submitted by developers and companies from around the world.
Utilization of the power of Java technology has allowed Sealite to develop their GSM Cell-Phone Monitoring and Alarm System to efficiently monitor the status of marine navigation lanterns from anywhere around the world.
The advanced GSM system is internally integrated into a range of lanterns with no external aerials or base station required. Each lantern is fitted with it’s own SIM card, which provides a designated cell-phone contact number for each GSM enabled lantern, allowing users to interrogate and receive auto reply SMS and/or secure web portal lantern diagnostics.
