Canatec Associates International Ltd.计划与SAIT Polytechnic合作开发先进的 海上幸存者定位设备（MSLD），可用于工业和军事应用。 利用GPS和Iridium卫星技术，拟议的MSLD系统将允许双向 通信和其他重要功能。为期24个月的项目将使SAIT学生获得 在MSLD系统的测试系统设计方面的实践经验和 设计制造过程。此外，SAIT教师可以利用项目信息和调查结果， 新的教学资源。由此产生的MSLD技术将大大提高人类在寒冷， 恶劣的海洋环境。这将增加Canatec的收入和竞争力，以及当地的 在加拿大长期就业。

Canatec Associates International Ltd. plans to collaborate with SAIT Polytechnic to develop an advanced maritime survivor locating device (MSLD), which can be certified for industrial and military applications. Utilizing GPS and Iridium satellite technology, the proposed MSLD system will allow bi-directional communication and other important features. The 24-month project will enable SAIT students to gain hands-on experience in testing systems design of the MSLD system and knowledge of the design-for-manufacture process. Also, SAIT faculty can make use of the project information and findings as new teaching resources. The resulting MSLD technology will substantially enhance human safety in cold, harsh marine environments. It will increase Canatec's revenues and competitiveness, as well as local employment in Canada in the long term.
