Aquaculture management

Optimizing harvests with real-time data.

Viasat’s Aquaculture Management solutions provide the tools you need to monitor and remotely control conditions at your fisheries to produce optimum yields, from anywhere in the world.

The challenge

Managing fisheries is no easy task. Small changes in water quality can be the difference between a successful harvest or a bad one. Even today, isolated, far-flung locations and sudden changes to environmental conditions can make it difficult to gain complete visibility over your farms. Help is at hand. We’re changing how you can monitor your fisheries by delivering the connectivity needed to improve yields, reduce costs, and increase sustainability.

Our solution

We simplify remote fisheries management by providing global connectivity for real-time monitoring of key environmental metrics. Collaborating with partners worldwide, we deliver timely alerts on conditions impacting growth and yield.

Built to your requirements, our solution displays real-time readings based on dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonia, temperature, and salinity levels. The intuitive application helps you make informed decisions faster than ever. Plus, depending on the capability of your equipment, remote control of oxygenation and other management systems can be integrated.

Connectivity solutions

To ensure you can keep collecting data, our partners connect your existing or new sensors using the best combination of Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN), IoT Nano, and IoT Pro services at the edge. We manage the transfer of data from the farm to a cloud-based dashboard via our highly reliable L-band network, which IoT Nano and IoT Pro work on. Both of these enable two-way communications, allowing monitoring and control.

Benefits

Reducing unplanned downtime: Aging assets are more prone to expensive downtime due to wear and tear and environmental conditions. By proactively monitoring them, you can detect and rectify issues earlier, and minimize business disruption.
Reduced time and cost of monitoring artificial lifts: Remote artificial lift monitoring reduces the need for a lone worker (or team) to visit a field to monitor conditions. This can amount to huge savings, particularly over the long term.
Reducing environmental impact and the resulting fines: Fines for environmental offenses imposed by regulators cost the industry significant sums. Using satellite-enabled IoT to monitor and predictively maintain artificial lifts not only helps to protect the environment but also potentially delivers huge savings for each accident that’s averted.

Features

Real-time monitoring application: Visualize all your key metrics in real-time, so you can understand conditions on your farms wherever you’re operating.
Real-time alerts: By actively monitoring your aquaculture projects in real-time, the application will alert you to key changes in conditions so that you can respond accordingly.
Global coverage: Reliable, global coverage with 99.9% network availability through our L-band satellite network, ensuring you’re always connected.
Installation, training and support: Our expert teams provide installation, training, and support throughout the lifecycle of the agreement to maintain connectivity.
