M3iGO
Satellite buoys
Echo sounder satellite buoy with 50 kHz and 200 Khz echo sounder especially designed for tuna fishing with fish aggregating devices (FADs).
The echo sounder data transmitted via satellite by the buoy allows the skipper to check, thanks to different consecutive layers, between small fish or low quality fish and big fish.
The buoy uses MSR-2 receiver to get and transmit messages via satellite through Iridium global satellite network.
