smart buoy

Norwegian company Innomar Ocean Technology has launched a smart buoy designed to help locate fishing traps, longlines, and nets. The ‘Sunfish Smart Buoy’ uses the cellular IoT connectivity of Nordic’s low power nRF9160 SiP with multimode LTE-M/NB-IoT modem with GNSS to transmit its location to the cloud. Users can then track the trap location from their smartphone.
