Technology · The GOST Platform
The Tech Behind 20 Years of Marine Security
AI that recognizes your crew. Satellite coverage where cellular ends. Twenty years of hardware refined against real theft, flooding, and engine fires, not a spec sheet.
Core Platform
Three Layers. One System.
Inmarsat Geosynchronous Network
99.99% uptime
Every GOST system reports through Inmarsat's geostationary satellites, 22,236 miles up, 11 ground relay stations, near-global coverage. The same network airlines and governments use for life-critical communication. When cellular dies, we don't.
- Position updates every 5 minutes, continuous, not scheduled
- No roaming agreements. Works Bahamas to Bahrain
- No dependence on shoreline cell towers or marina WiFi
Specter AI Recognition
Your crew, recognized
Specter AI is trained on the faces you approve, your family, crew, trusted dock hands. The moment a face it doesn't know steps on deck, you get alerted. Not tomorrow, not after you check the tapes. Right now.
- Crew and guest profiles managed in the app, not by a technician
- Faces stored encrypted, never sold or shared
- Streams over satellite when offshore, cellular when you're not
NMEA 0183 / 2000 Native
Plays with your helm
GOST integrates with the marine electronics you already have, Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, through industry-standard NMEA. One unified dashboard for position, sensors, cameras, and your existing instruments.
- Expandable sensor array, bilge, shore power, hatch, engine, motion
- Professional installation by dealers GOST certifies personally
- Backwards-compatible with vessels spanning 20 years of build
Born on the Water
We Built This Because We Needed It.
GOST was founded in South Florida by boaters who understood the unique challenges of protecting a vessel, and the limitations of the security systems that existed at the time. Cellular gaps. Systems that stopped working at sea. Cameras nobody ever watched.
Twenty years later, we’re the US Coast Guard’s recognized partner for asset recovery and the NMEA’s Product of Excellence eight years running. We still build every system like we’re installing it on our own boat.
How We Build
Principles That Shape the Hardware
Engineered Like We're the Owner
Our founders are boaters. Every sensor, every failure mode, every alert is tuned by people who have had their own vessels broken into.
Your Data. Encrypted. Never Sold.
Faces, positions, alerts, camera feeds, your data belongs to you. We encrypt it in transit and at rest. We never monetize it.
Installed by Hands You Meet
GOST systems are installed by certified dealers we train personally, not shipped in a box for you to figure out. The person who wires your vessel is the person you can call.
The Network
Fort Lauderdale HQ. Inmarsat Backbone. Global Reach.
We’re headquartered where the boats are, South Florida. Our infrastructure rides a proven geosynchronous satellite backbone with ground relay stations across four continents, so your vessel stays on the grid whether it’s at the dock or mid-Atlantic.
