Six families.
Everything one channel needs.
Buoys, beacons, lanterns, telemetry terminals and monitoring payloads — specify a single item or configure a complete stretch of waterway. Each family is divided into series suited to different water conditions.
Water first, then form, then configuration.Get the order wrong and no amount of datasheet detail will save the selection.
Specifying aids to navigation does not start with a model table. Channel class, current speed, water-level range and traffic density determine hull form, material and mooring. Nominal range and light character are set together with position planning. Telemetry follows from how the aids will be maintained — not from the hardware.
Define the water
Inland, port, bridge area, canal or open coast? Current, water-level range, ice and floating debris drive material and structural choices.
Define the form
Pillar, boat-shaped or fixed beacon — decided by depth, traffic density, dragging risk and how easily a maintenance vessel can reach the station.
Define the fit-out
Nominal range and light character, topmarks and dayboards, telemetry, additional sensor payloads — set by the maintenance model, not by the budget line.
Six product familiesOpen each for series, characteristics and selection notes.
UHMWPE AtoN
Built around ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. No rust, no protective coating cycle, and impacts usually deform rather than breach the hull — suited to long service between visits.
Metal AtoN
For specifications that call for metal structures. Still the right answer for large hulls, high load-bearing requirements, or where new aids must match existing infrastructure.
Marine Lanterns
Solar LED lanterns with programmable light characters, optional synchronised flashing, and an optional telemetry module reporting lantern status to your platform.
Remote Monitoring
Light character, battery voltage, position and off-station alarms reported to your channel management platform. The hardware is the entry point — the value is in what the data changes.
Data & Multi-payload Buoys
Monitoring payloads carried on a navigation buoy, so one hull serves both duties — removing the cost and servicing load of a separate monitoring station.
Project Services
Selection support, volume supply, deployment and mooring, light character setting and telemetry onboarding — followed by spares and fault response.
