Barcelona Boat Show 2008
Atlantic Source will be in the Barcelona International Boat Show celebrated in Barcelona, Spain, 8-16th November 2008. Our stand is E-516. We hope to see you there!
Another dream coming true
Some people spend their lives saying what they would love to do, and some others just, DO IT.
That’s why we are really happy to tell you about Jose & Virgi, a couple from Mataró (Barcelona) that is just about to end the preparation of their boat, Caps III, for a several years long journey with no fixed heading nor predetermined destination.
They have installed our satellite tracking transponder, and you’ll be able to follow their route in this page.
We really hope they are going to be very happy in this new and fascinating stage of their lives 
VOR tracking by Atlantic Source
We are followers of the toughest regatta in the world, the Volvo Ocean Race.
However, official tracking websites force you to install Java updates, and not all browsers are fully compatible with the tracking software.
That’s why we have decided to create an extremely basic and fast Volvo tracking page. You can only (for now ) see the current updated position of each participant, as well as their DTF and DTL (distance to final and distance to leader)
Since our page is updated at the same time than the official one, but ours loads faster, we hope you may find it useful.
We will be posting a Google Earth file soon!
AIS in the Volvo Ocean Race
We are very proud to announce that our AIS products from True Heading will be the official AIS equipment for all the boats participating in the Volvo Ocean Race.
The equipment consists of one of our AIS-CTRX transponders, with one of our class B VHF Splitters, in each of the boats. The splitter has been specially acknowledged to be essential to improve the coverage and to ease notably the installation process.
AIS will give a new dimension to yacht racing, since participants will have the chance to follow competitors in real time when in VHF coverage, and it helps them comply with the requirements of some of the ports they will be visiting, such as Singapore, since AIS is compulsory equipment for boats of that size in those harbours.
Besides, fans of the regatta will be able to track boats in real time when passing through coastal waters. You’ll be able to track the first 400NM in our AIS traffic maritime web page.

+ Our transponder in the US!!
After quite a long time, more than many boaters in the US would like, the FCC has approved AIS class B transponders in the US. Some kind of agreement has been reached with Maritel, the company that formerly had the right to use one of the two frequencies used by AIS.
It is a fact that boaters in the US are celebrating, as we can read in some of the most popular blogs in the US, such as Panbo, Navagear, etc…
We are very glad to announce that our AIS-CTRX transponder has been the first one to be approved, and hence we are celebrating !!!!
