First Universal SMART Cable Sensor System Successfully Deployed at Ocean Networks Canada NEPTUNE Observatory

Subsea Data Systems announced that the first universal Science Monitoring and Reliable Telecommunications (SMART) Cable sensor system is deployed and transmitting real-time geophysical data. Developed with initial funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation and continued financial support from Schmidt Marine Technology Partners, the SMART Cable sensor system is poised to transform global tsunami and earthquake early warning, protect critical telecommunications infrastructure, and supply essential ocean data. Installed at Ocean Networks Canada's NEPTUNE Observatory Cascadia node, the system represents the first adaptable solution that works across all types of subsea data cables.

The differentiator in the emerging SMART Cable market is Subsea Data Systems’ (SDS) universal design. While other solutions are tailored to specific infrastructure, high capital expense, and significant power consumption, the universal SDS system can be installed on repeatered telecommunications cables, unrepeatered cables, and purpose-built cable systems. The revolutionary design allows the entire range of telecom owner/operators, government agencies, and research facilities to leverage SMART Cable technology.
