INOV is proud of having been Pioneer in 1988, with the MONICAP™ system, of a pilot installation of the first location system using satellite GPS (Global Positioning System) and Satellite Communications using INMARSAT-C.

Since then the team of engineers from INOV has been updating and maintaining the MONICAP™ System for the Management of Fishing Fleets and VMS (Vessel Monitoring System) solutions.

The MONICAP™ System, by definition a VMS or a FMC (Fisheries Monitoring Centre), is presently installed in about 800 fishing vessels that operate under the control of Portugal, Spain, France, Ireland and Angola.

INOV has also developed products in the area of the Management of Terrestrial Fleets (XTraN™), with solutions for local, regional and transnational applications. This competitive low cost system uses various communications networks, such as GSM, Tetra or INMARSAT-C.

In the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) domain INOV supplies the systems SEASAT™ and SIMORE™.

From the acquired experience one can also point out the development of a prototype transmitter for satellite communications using INMARSAT-M, and participation in several European R&D Projects in the domain of VTS (Vessel Traffic Services), VTMIS (Vessel Traffic Management Information System) or VTMS (Vessel Traffic Management System).
