WatchMate Deployment14/08/2008 |
| AXYS Technologies has deployed the WatchMate, the most recent addition to its buoy product line up. The buoy was deployed by AXYS personnel in 21 metres water depth at 10:06 AM PDT on 30 July 2008 in Haro Strait, 5 kilometers off the coast of Vancouver Island (Canada). The buoy will be on station until at least the spring of 2009. |

The 1.4 metre diameter buoy is outfitted with a standard meteorological package (winds, air temp, humidity and pressure), a TRIAXYS directional wave sensor and a sea surface temperature sensor. The buoy sends data back to AXYS headquarters every hour via CDMA cellular phone and uses Inmarsat D+ satellite service for Watchcircle alarm or secondary telemetry.
Data from the new WatchMate buoy can be viewed online.
