MDS-OrbBuoyTM is the new buoy recently launched by SeaStar.
These buoys are designed with solar panel charged batteries for continuous operation, and are easily retrieved through the use of high-accuracy GPS positioning, two-way communications (via the INMARSAT D+ satellite network), and a user-activated high-intensity recovery beacon. Location information and control capability for each buoy is integrated into OrbMapTM software allowing fishermen to see and track each buoy’s location on top of SeaStar oceanographic maps.
In addition to buoy position, users can interpret real-time currents and obtain sea surface temperature data transmitted from the MDS-OrbBuoy. Captains can also use the pre-programmed reporting frequencies to receive buoy positions or activate the recovery beacon.
