VMS Appliance Overview The Nautic Alert VMS Appliance is the most simple, lowest cost of ownership in a NOAA VMS solution. Unlike other systems that use PC-grade processor technology, the VMS Appliance is designed with a state-of-the-art low power architecture, enabling it to only consume 1.8W of power. This enables it to work with power constrained vessels, including solar-panel trickle chargers. -
