Electronics & Telemetry Module

The heart of the electronics module is the on-board computer, which performs several key functions:

Control of all on board sensors
Data acquisition, quality assurance, storage, sensor fault detection (and self repair when possible)
Data processing, including statistical & batch operations
Inbuilt lightning resistance

Data is processed using a series of proprietary, in-house algorithms and is stored locally for later retrieval (if required), as well as being delivered via telemetry to the MDS Data Centre. System faults and alerts are sent in real time back to the MDS Data Centre to warn of problems or of potential failure conditions on the buoy.

Transmission of real-time data at rates as low as 1 second is available, or longer term averages may be aggregated and sent though at regular intervals. The exact configuration is user and application dependant and fully configurable from the MDS Data Centre.

GSM/GPRS/3g Cellular or Iridium LEO Satellite System telemetry options are provided.
