Sea Tow Partners with Radian IoT

Sea Tow, the nation’s leading on-water marine assistance provider, announced it has selected Radian IoT, Inc., an innovator in data collection and aggregation, as a preferred vessel tracking and monitoring solution. As part of this relationship, Sea Tow franchise owners can now purchase Radian devices and software subscriptions at a preferred rate.

Radian systems support risk management from the perspective of real-time alerts for low voltage and bilge pumps running. This is especially useful for Sea Tow franchise owners when their boats are tied to the dock, unmanned and not servicing customers. With the Radian systems, franchisees can ensure their boats are operational and ready to go when a boater calls for assistance. Radian systems can set alerts for location via geofencing and speed limits which helps franchise owners ensure their boats are operated in the safest and most economical RPM range for fuel burn, response, and patrol speeds.

There are numerous Sea Tow franchises, including Sea Tow Tampa Bay, Sea Tow Central Florida Lakes, and Sea Tow Hampton Roads, using Radian, and many others are currently working to get Radian set up on their boats. Additionally, Radian has embedded a “Call Sea Tow” button in its IQ+ mobile app for consumers making it simple for boaters who use Radian devices to contact Sea Tow for on-water assistance.

Equipping boats with an IP67 waterproof Radian device is a simple process that can be handled by the Sea Tow franchise owners themselves. There are no external antennas or sophisticated wiring required. Both the Radian M2 and the CAN-BUS-connected Radian M3 devices have long-life internal batteries, that take over reporting responsibilities when the boat’s batteries drop below an operable voltage. By connecting with the boats NEMA 2000 and CAN communication buses, the M3 device allows the engine and onboard electronics data to be captured and reported with each transmission to the Radian platform.
