Harvest Technology's smart buoy is paired with its Nodestream technology protocol, delivering 24-7 secure, high-definition video, audio and data.
PERTH, Australia – Harvest Technology Group Ltd. says that it has successfully developed a bespoke solution for an oil and gas exploration company, enabling access to real-time data from the sea floor.
Harvest says that this next-generation system uses acoustic transfer technology to securely transmit data 24/7 from a monitoring structure on the sea floor to a “smart buoy” at the surface.
The smart buoy acts as a modem to communicate data back onshore via mobile or satellite link. Harvest says it does this at a fraction of the bandwidth typically required, alleviating the challenge of relying on retrospective data to make critical operational decisions.
