BD5 Data Buoy

Product Options

Overview

Our databuoys are extremely robust and suitable for even the worst environments. Topside, solar panel options provide power to the integrated battery and telemetry system. Multiple pass-through holes allow sensors (up to 8”/200mm diameter) to be deployed and retrieved quickly and easily. For smaller deployments, larger sensors can be mounted directly to the instrument cage and maintenance is achieved by simply lifting the buoy out of the water. Single point or multipoint moorings can be attached to the subsurface stainless steel frame supports. Almost all buoys (except for our smallest models) are fitted with solar panels, internal batteries, navigation/warning lights (where required) and telemetry systems. All data is transferred in real-time using the latest IoT technology and can either be viewed on our secure data portal or integrated into your own SCADA systems or software.
