Riding the waves for over 60 years!
Specializing in the marine environment, Datawell developed the basic principles of the gravity stabilized long period motion sensors. That, in combination with designs for very low power electronics, resulted in the Waverider (1968), the Wavec buoy (1983) and Directional Waverider buoy (1988).
Automatic Identification System
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) allows your buoy to broadcast its location to its surroundings. The implementation of a type 1 AIS Aids to Navigation configuration which broadcasts every three minutes results in a very low power system. No additional antenna is needed, as it is integrated in the regular HF- and CAT4 antennas.
