Recommended Tracking Devices

RockFLEET is designed for permanent installation on a vessel and built to withstand prolonged exposure to harsh maritime conditions. It transmits location, alerts and messages in real time, with built-in accelerometer, temperature, power-loss and impact monitoring. Where cellular coverage is available, it uses cellular connectivity before switching to satellite when required.

RockSTAR is a portable tracking and two-way messaging device widely used by sailors for safety and communication. It operates independently of a smartphone or external power source and can provide up to 12 months of battery life, depending on configuration and use.

For vessels operating in areas affected by GNSS jamming or spoofing, RockFLEET Assured adds an independent assured positioning reference. It helps crews and shore teams identify unreliable GNSS data, maintain position awareness and review disruption events.
