Subsea Data Systems SMART Cable Sensor: Deployment Details and Technical Specifications
The first universal SMART Cable sensor system, deployed at Ocean Networks Canada's NEPTUNE Observatory, has been fully validated and is transmitting real-time data .
Technical Innovation:
Universal design: Works across repeatered, unrepeatered, and purpose-built cables
Low power consumption: Addresses the high capital expense barrier of previous solutions
Modular sensor integration: Accommodates broad range of sensor types
Sensor Package:
Silicon Audio Seismic Omnitilt: Switchable seismometer/accelerometer for high-frequency broadband seismic data
Paroscientific absolute pressure transducer
Sea-Bird temperature recorder
Data is being transmitted to the US National Science Foundation's National Geophysical Facility. Temperature and pressure data will also be available in ONC's open-access Oceans 3.0 data management system. Once commissioning is complete, all data will be publicly available
