In addition to providing bare board Micromodem systems to customers, we also have the capability to provide complete packaged solutions. We have a variety of pressure vessels, buoys, deck gear, software development modules and other enclosures to support the needs of any application. We have a number of standard sized housings that can be fabricated in various materials to support applications at the surface down to 6000m+.
Below is just a small sample of some of the designs we produce and are available for purchase. Please contact Keenan Ball at kball@whoi.edu for additional information.
