Monitoring Buoy Network Installed in UAE
Ocean Scientific International Ltd. (OSIL). The 1.2m coastal buoys, installed in water depths ranging from 6-16m in various locations along the UAE coastline amid extensive coral formations and seagrass beds, are equipped with multiparameter sondes for water quality monitoring, and GPRS telemetry equipment. The robust buoys are designed for extended deployment in harsh coastal environments in a range of water depths. The rotationally molded PE hulls are foam filled to prevent the buoy sinking in the unlikely event that the outer hull is damaged. All instrumentation and cables are held
OSIL Offers New Low-cost Satellite Modem
Ocean Scientific International Ltd (OSIL) has added a new low-cost, low-power satellite modem to its range of telemetry equipment. The system will publish data, including traditionally high cost/volume currents and waves, from any location globally using the Iridium satellite network. Monthly line rental costs are minimal, and data costs are kept low (as little as 4p per message) by using SBD messaging with big bundle deals available for multiple or long term deployments. Conventionally current and wave data transmitted via satellite has proved expensive for the end user owing to the
New Micro Field Buoy from OSIL
a variety of instruments or environmental sensors (including CTDs, DO sensors, turbidity sensors, chlorophyll sensors, multiparameter sondes and hydrocarbon sensors) in the rugged protective deployment frame underneath the float. The hard anodized marine grade aluminum hull incorporates buoyancy, telemetry equipment (GSM/GPRS/3G), electronics (including data logger) and battery in a fully marinized and compact package. The buoy, once installed, can be left reporting and logging data unattended for one month before battery recharging and instrument cleaning is required. www.osil.co.uk (As published in
