Field testing in Austevoll

SFI Smart Ocean’s solutions for ocean monitoring are being tested at the research station of the Institute for Marine Research in Austevoll. Innovative solutions for reducing energy consumption and extending service intervals, acoustic communications, and improving data quality are among the focus areas of Centre.

Partners from UiB, NORCE, Kongsberg Discovery, Aanderaa, and the Institute of Marine Research deployed new instrumentation for testing before the summer – this video gives you a short introduction to these activities.

Next up is the deployment of an approximately 1 km long fiberoptic cable also at Austevoll. That will increase the possible testing options, both for acoustic sensing and communication.
