Product Overview
The Drifting & Mooring Mini Wave Buoy 2.0 is a new generation of small intelligent multi-parameter ocean observation buoy developed by Frankstar Technology. It is designed to monitor wave and surface current parameters while supporting a broader set of ocean observations through its configurable sensor suite. Whether deployed in drifting mode or anchored in a fixed location, the Mini Wave Buoy 2.0 provides a practical platform for continuous, real-time observation of sea surface conditions.
Built for flexible ocean observation
The Mini Wave Buoy 2.0 can be equipped with advanced wave, temperature, salinity, noise and air pressure sensors. This multi-parameter capability allows a single buoy to collect a range of environmental data rather than requiring separate instruments for each measurement type. Through anchorage or drifting, the buoy can easily obtain stable and reliable sea surface pressure, surface water temperature, salinity, wave height, wave direction, wave period and other wave element data. This makes it suitable for applications where consistent observation of sea surface behavior is important, such as wave characterization, surface current monitoring and environmental assessment.
Continuous real-time data delivery
Data collected by the Mini Wave Buoy 2.0 can be sent back to the cloud platform in real time through Iridium, HF and other communication methods. Users can easily access, query and download the data through the cloud platform, supporting remote observation workflows without requiring direct physical access to the buoy. In addition to real-time transmission, data can also be stored in the SD card of the buoy. This onboard storage provides a local copy of the collected information, and users can take it back at any time, which is useful for redundancy, post-deployment analysis or situations where communication coverage is limited.
Designed for drifting and mooring deployments
The Mini Wave Buoy 2.0 supports both drifting and mooring configurations, giving users the flexibility to match the deployment method to the observation objective. Drifting deployments can follow surface water movement and support spatial coverage of wave and surface current parameters, while mooring deployments provide repeated observations at a fixed location. This dual-mode capability allows the same buoy platform to serve different monitoring strategies, from short-term surveys to longer-term observation programs.
Applications across marine sectors
The Mini Wave Buoy 2.0 has been widely used in marine scientific research, marine environmental monitoring, marine energy development, marine forecasting, marine engineering and other fields. In marine scientific research, it supports the collection of wave and surface parameter data for study and analysis. In marine environmental monitoring, it contributes to observing sea surface conditions over time. In marine energy development and marine engineering, it can assist teams that need wave and surface current information as part of their planning and operational awareness. In marine forecasting, the real-time data path through the cloud platform supports timely access to observed conditions.
Built for practical field use
As a small intelligent buoy, the Mini Wave Buoy 2.0 is intended to make multi-parameter ocean observation more accessible. Its combination of configurable sensors, real-time data transmission, onboard SD card storage and support for both drifting and mooring deployment addresses common requirements in field observation programs. Users can retrieve data remotely through the cloud platform or recover the stored data directly from the buoy, providing flexibility in how observation campaigns are managed.
Who it is for
The Mini Wave Buoy 2.0 is relevant to marine researchers, offshore operators, environmental monitoring teams, distributors and technical buyers who need a compact platform for wave and surface current parameter observation. Research groups can integrate it into observation programs, monitoring teams can use it for environmental tracking, and offshore and engineering teams can incorporate its data into their understanding of sea surface conditions. Distributors and technical buyers can evaluate it as part of a broader ocean observation equipment portfolio.
