Wavy
Wavy is a simple and low-cost drifter buoy for river and coast line sea current measurements.
Easily deployable thanks to its size, weight and shape. It is a great solution for operations demanding simple logistics, low budget and multiple reading in same day.
It is equipped with position sensor and communication. Log and report on its own position, even under rough sea conditions. The outer casing was designed to be resistant to plunging against the rocks. The structure will absorb the impact, keeping the inner electronics intact and able to carry on with its duty.
Depending on the currents, it may be deployed several times in the same day thanks to its long battery life.
Using just a laptop or a mobile phone (WavyHub), it is easy to configure and operate a Wavy System.

Wavy is fitted with one low-power GPS module.
From time to time, Wavy will send its position in an SMS or GPRS message to a predefined recipient, so that the user is able to track and then recover the buoy in real time.
Using wireless technology (Bluetooth) the user is able to download the data gathered by Wavy, and configure its behavior.
Rotating the connector allows the user to turn Wavy on and off or to start logging data. The connector is removed when the batteries must be recharged.
Under full working conditions, Wavy can operate for more than one day
Built with light yet strong materials, Wavy can be easily deployed and recovered while sustaining a considerable amount of stress and shock.
