Overview & Features
The Trinity mini Buoy is a small and compact tracking & monitoring buoy based on Iridium satellite system. This buoy can be tailored to suit a wide range of applications as surface drifter to track sea currents, oil spills and rescue operation between others.
The modern drifter is a high-tech version of the "message in
a bottle". It consists of a surface buoy and an optional subsurface drogue
(sea anchor), attached by thin tether.
The buoy measures temperature and other
properties, and has a transmitter to send the data to passing
satellites.
