Enhancing Onboard Situational Awareness with YachtAware and IONODE

We are pleased to announce a new strategic integration initiative with YachtAware in our growing ecosystem of integrated solution providers. YachtAware is a next-generation Video Management Software (VMS) platform designed exclusively for the superyacht sector. The integration of YachtAware with the IONODES Secure Display Station solution represents a significant advancement for superyacht security, providing owners and crews with a seamless, purpose-built solution for real-time video access and situational awareness.

This integration expands the IONODES ecosystem by pairing the robust capabilities of YachtAware, such as live viewing, recording, AI-powered media search, and integrated access control, with the simplicity and reliability of the Secure Display Station solution. Crew members can now access critical live video streams from any location, whether it is the bridge, crew quarters, or a security hub. The solution removes the need for an unreliable workstation computer. The Secure Display Station operates as a dedicated appliance, connecting directly to any display to provide a spot monitor solution wherever needed. Through the YachtAware VMS user interface, superyacht customers and security crews have full remote control over displayed camera streams and layouts of all the Secure Display Stations on board.

YachtAware stands apart from traditional land-based video management platforms, offering features and workflows made specifically for the yachting environment. Its intuitive interface, modular design, and compatibility with a wide range of camera brands make it a preferred choice for Ultra High Net Worth clients, security teams, and crews. By removing the need for multiple third-party applications or double licensing, YachtAware streamlines security operations for vessels anywhere in the world.

“The integration of the Secure Display Station solution brings enormous value to our YachtAware VMS offering” said Martin Harris, Director and Founder of YachtAware. “This easy to deploy and open-platform live video solution offers situational awareness to both passengers and security crews across the ship to provide a safer environment for all.”

Compact and VESA mountable, the IONODES Secure Display Station installs directly behind any monitor on board. This gives crews the flexibility to place video access exactly where it is needed, whether on the bridge, in crew areas, or anywhere else on the ship. The appliance delivers high-quality, low-latency video feeds and supports up to 16 video tiles per monitor, with the ability to display feeds across one, two, or three monitors, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all critical spaces. Built with high-reliability components and purpose-built software, the Secure Display Station is both robust and reliable. Its fanless design eliminates the risk of mechanical failure, ensuring quiet and dependable performance, which is essential for shared or sensitive environments on board.

“The Secure Display Station’s entry into luxury maritime operations reflects the continued versatility and relevance of our technology across specialized markets,” said Eric Tasso, President and CEO of IONODES. “This market entry underscores the strength of our open-platform technology and its ability to deliver adaptable, high-impact solutions across a wide range of industries. Our collaboration with YachtAware highlights our ongoing commitment to providing flexible, secure, and scalable solutions that address real-world operational and safety challenges in diverse environments.”

This integration marks another milestone in IONODES’ mission to deliver reliable video solutions that meet the evolving needs of specialized markets. By combining YachtAware’s innovative VMS platform with the proven reliability of the Secure Display Station solution, we are enabling a new level of security and operational efficiency for luxury maritime environments.
