Key Features
Flexible Platform, Real-Time Data
Build multimodal sensing networks that collect and transmit highly accurate
and peer-reviewed data from peer-reviewed systems/sensors.
Spotter
Spotter with Smart Mooring
Spotter with Smart Mooring and Bristlemouth DevKit
Small Size, Big Value
Configuration Options
Deploy multiple Spotters in an array to increase the spatial density of observations and enable more dynamic modeling.
Connected
Use the Spotter Dashboard and API to access real-time data sent via satellite/cellular and stored in the cloud. Two-way communication reduces downtime and enables over-the-air firmware updates.
Scalable
Significantly lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional platforms. Deploy Spotters at scale to maximize the spatial density of observational networks.
Rapidly Deployable
Easy to deploy by hand without prior experience. Rugged design has enabled thousands of successful deployments from all vessel types.
Extremely Durable
Designed by ocean engineers and scientists and proven to withstand any marine environment, from ice to high latitudes to extreme heat. Operates continuously using a solar rechargeable battery.
Surface
Use Spotter buoys to make direct observations of wave spectra, wind, sea surface temperature, and atmospheric pressure. Deploy a free-drifting buoy or anchor it with conventional mooring.
Wave & Wave Spectra
Wind
Surface Temperature
Atmospheric Pressure
Subsurface
Deploy the Spotter with the Smart Mooring to make observations above and below the surface. Measure subsurface temperature, water level, and current out of the box. All data is sent to the Dashboard and the API in real-time via Spotter.
