Challenges text
15 locations spanning across the country’s territorial waters are a logistics challenge to cover all buoy for maintenance and emergency breakdown visits.
Provide a long term, accurate water quality measurement against the aggressive bio- fouling due to shallow coastal waters.
Integrating numerous types of specialized sensors into our datalogger
Providing an effective vandalism protection into our system.
Providing a reliable dual redundant communication between the buoys and central station.
Solutions text
Using UV technology to reduce the biofouling affect in the water quality readings.
User friendly data logger and central software system.
Selection of long-term stable sensors to provide reliable data.
Use of buoy radios as repeater stations to provide backup communications where GSM/ GPRS signal coverage is weak.
