System Benefits:

  • Near real time data from any coastal monitoring location in the world provides enhanced analytical, predictive and alerting capability
  • Compact, lightweight relay buoy reduces cost and complexity of deployment
  • High value equipment is sub-surface, reducing risk of loss through vandalism, theft, collision and extreme weather
  • Proven system resilience and performance in cyclonic conditions Small relay buoys are ideal for very shallow locations, such as coral reefs
  • Reduces the requirement for manual data sampling and data logger deployment/recovery
  • Autonomous operation reduces the need for diver intervention and associated safety management
  • On-line data delivery with email & SMS alerting capabilities

Features:

  • Works in any location - system uses Iridium Short Burst Data telemetry to provide highly reliable, global coverage, with cellular options
  • Sensor sampling and reporting intervals remotely configurable
  • In-situ data logging as well as near real-time reporting
  • System can be integrated with client specified sensor types
  • Internal re-chargeable battery pack provides extended subsea monitoring endurance before re-charging
  • Compact, easy to deploy relay buoy with no external equipment

Typical Applications:

  • Marine water quality monitoring - outfalls, dredge plumes, aquaculture etc
  • Oceanographic and marine environmental data gathering
  • Maritime security monitoring
  • Marine infrastructure monitoring
