Tiivistelmä
The thesis is about Internet of Things (IoT) networks and marine aids to navigation. The thesis main goal was to find out suitable networks for marine aids to navigation data transmission needs. The thesis answers to questions about the availability of IoT networks which could be used for marine aids data transmission. Field tests of the possible transmission networks were left out from the study.
The analysis of the current state examined transmission networks in use and presented detailed information about remote monitoring and remote controlling services of marine aids. Marine aids to navigation locations with a data transfer functionality were introduced. Requirements for remote monitoring and remote controlling services were clarified.
The theory analysis from suitable IoT networks technologies was formed based on literature sources, information from operators and experiences got from Finnish Meteorological Institute, from Mitta Oy and from SPX Aids to Navigation Oy. The result of the thesis shows that from technology point of view there exist several IoT networks suitable for marine aids data transfer. Thesis conclusions show also that there are several factors that need to be considered when selecting an alternative network technology for marine aids data transmission.
