EMO Marine Technologies has secured the transmission of oceanographic data by establishing a real time link via fiber optic cable from Minas Passage seafloor to FORCE onshore site.
The link provided by EMO Marine will transmit site data gathered by the sensors affixed to the FAST-1 monitoring platform to aid with in-stream tidal energy development and to measure effects on the marine ecosystem.
The system uses EMO Marine’s Mini-T form factor multiplexer system.
The Mini-T system is comprised of a subsea housing where each of the oceanographic sensors are connected, and of an output console located in the Fundy Ocean Research Center for Energy (FORCE) Visitor’s Centre in Nova Scotia, Canada.
EMO Marine Technologies is a Nova Scotia-based company that designs and manufactures subsea communication systems.
