Title
SMART BUOY
Description

Telefónica's smart buoy service consists of the supply and implementation of a solution to measure the quality and different parameters of bathing water by means of sensors arranged on marine buoys, with the aim of reducing problems derived from the massive anchoring of boats such as:

  • Degradation of the surrounding coastline.
  • Water contamination.
  • Increased waste generation.

Also, smart buoys offer data to generate new information services for citizens and tourists, such as the quality of bathing water. The water quality control stations consist of several elements:

  • An approved buoy to be placed in reservoirs with navigation areas.
  • Probes to measure different water quality parameters.
  • A concentrator capable of sending the information collected by the sensors to the provincial platform for the smart management of the council public services.
  • Solar panels to power the device's battery.

These stations collect and send the information from the probes with desired frequency. The devices do not store a measurement history. The information is processed and stored from a platform.
