WSense provides customizable and modular real-time, bi-directional, in-situ monitoring tools capable of sending real-time alarms. It makes possible to monitor the entire water column, on areas that can scale from a few tens of square meters to hundreds or thousands of square meters depending on the number of nodes deployed as needed. The monitoring system is implemented using submarine wireless communication nodes (W-Nodes) integrated with probes to monitor various parameters. The W-Nodes are able to analyze the measured values, process them and transmit them in real time through the submarine wireless networks on which WSense has international patents. The signal containing the data can be forwarded by other W-Nodes which act as routers until it reaches a W-Gateway, a surface element which interfaces submarine networks with traditional networks and the Internet. The data is then transmitted to a Cloud software platform to be memorized, correlated, analyzed and displayed via a web interface, even in 3D for some scenarios designed to work on a PC, tablet, phone.
WSense brings to the market submarine wireless mesh technology to create adaptive "multi-hop" networks that bring reliability and performance not possible until now. Wireless monitoring systems are also more reliable and less expensive than wired systems and reduce Operations & Maintenance costs, favoring the development of the Blue Economy. Wsense builds low-cost systems able to cover large areas in the coastal strip (up to 300m deep) to be deployed without cables to monitor the water column. On top of these patented solutions that derive from a decade of research and development of intellectual property, WSense has added, to realize its IoUT solutions, new acoustic modem technologies with low energy consumption and low cost; a submarine sensor node to which new sensors from different manufacturers can be easily integrated; a power management module capable to significantly increase the energy autonomy of the monitoring system; a multi-protocol stack for secure data transmission. A final characterizing aspect of WSense solutions is multi-vendor interoperability.
