Plan-S delivers reliable, coverage-independent tracking for maritime assets, validated in real operations with the METU Institute of Marine Sciences. As part of the deployment, the Connecta IoT Tracker Lite was installed on the R/V Bilim-2 research vessel to capture and transmit position data via Connecta IoT Network satellites throughout the expedition.
The result was continuous visibility across maritime routes where terrestrial network coverage is limited or unavailable, ensuring a consistent tracking record beyond terrestrial reach. The project demonstrated the system’s suitability not only for scientific missions, but also for security-oriented use cases where dependable location evidence and sustained oversight matters.
By enabling data collection from remote ocean platforms, Plan-S supports more resilient marine operations, helping advance oceanographic research while strengthening asset security at sea.
