Data Communication
There are several ways to get data from buoys. All the buoy data will be forwarded to Kato’s server. Then, KATO SBS-02 buoy management software system will download all the information by the Inmarsat Mini C, FBB or Iridium communication devices which are available on your vessels.
 KATO SBS-02 Buoy Management Software System includes GPS receiver, industrial PC and reliable software (SBS-02) under Windows which has been specially developed to process data transmitted by KT-800F/T-800SF. Once the data is received by the reception system, all the information (Buoy ID, Longitude and Latitude of buoys, water temperature, remaining battery voltage, UTC time) and echo sounder information will Fdisplay on the monitor automatically.
