How the Program Works

Phase 1:

Assessment & Planning
  • We work with your team to evaluate current markers, identify key locations for upgrades, and assess local conditions and safety needs. This phase includes environmental and navigational reviews, along with stakeholder input.

Phase 2:

Proposal & Permit Coordination
  • LuminSea prepares a customized plan, including proposed marker locations, technical specifications, budget estimates, and a rollout timeline. We handle all permit coordination with agencies like USACE, FDEP, and USCG to ensure regulatory compliance.

Phase 3:

Pilot Installation & Testing
  • We install a limited number of Smart Channel Markers in selected areas. These markers are monitored for performance—lighting, solar efficiency, GPS accuracy, and user experience—to ensure optimal results before scaling.

Phase 4:

Full Rollout & Partnership
  • Based on pilot success, we work with your municipality to expand the installation across your waterways. LuminSea provides full training, maintenance support, and system upgrades as needed, forming a long-term partnership focused on safety and innovation.
