Having operated offshore during Hurricane Ernesto and Tropical Storm Debby, the system is now back at the OPT facility for integration of the subsea connectors and AT&T’s 5G system that are part of the previously announced deployment for the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterrey. Once all permits are received and factory acceptance testing is complete, the system will be moved to California for installation.
Philipp Stratmann, CEO and President of OPT, expressed his enthusiasm about this milestone, stating, “We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of offshore testing for our solar and wind power capable Next Generation PowerBuoy®, which forms the backbone of our AI-capable Merrows ocean-intelligence platform. Achieving 100% data uptime during testing is a testament to the robustness and reliability of our technology, designed to operate in the most challenging marine environments. We are excited to take the next step and deliver this groundbreaking system to NPS, marking a significant milestone in advancing sustainable ocean monitoring solutions.”
