Local on WII5 — Waves In Ice Buoys

Communications

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

WII5 buoys use two communication channels — long-range satellite for operational telemetry, and short-range local for field configuration and read-out without breaking the enclosure seal.

Iridium — short-burst-data uplink for telemetry.
Local — BLE, serial, and Wi-Fi for in-field access.

Local channels used in-field for configuration, diagnostics, and read-out without breaking the enclosure seal: BLE for app-driven access, serial for direct console, and Wi-Fi for higher-bandwidth bulk download.

The supporting equipment used to bring up, verify, and debug buoys — either on the bench or out in the field where there’s no internet.

Static Wave/Heave Tester

A bench rig that imposes a known vertical motion on a buoy so its accelerometer + maths pipeline can be calibrated and verified against a ground truth. Used to:
