GEMINI is a portable receiver linked to ISRO-satellites, that is “fail-proof” and warn fishermen of danger. The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), a Hyderabad institute collaborated with Accord, a private company, to develop a box-shaped receiver. It has an antenna and in-built battery that can last three to four days, according to a brochure describing the device. GEMINI works on GAGAN developed by ISRO and the Airports Authority of India and is an India-made global positioning system and relies on the positioning system by ISRO’s GSAT satellites.
