ANTEIA

Oceanographic Buoy

ANTEIA allows the collection of real-time height, direction, period and water temperature data. Due to its weight of only 26Kg and its diameter of 0.6m, our oceanographic buoy is easy to transport and can be easily deployed. ANTEIA allows for high functionality in aquaculture and research studies. All the collected data can be downloaded and visualized in our Ocean Watcher web application.
