NEPTUNE
The NEPTUNE (Navigational Environmental Processing and Tracking Unit for Nautical Exploration) Technologies builds innovative aquatic environmental sensing platforms. Our first product the NEPTUNE Drifter is a cutting-edge marine monitoring platform designed to empower oceanic research and environmental stewardship in the blue economy. Built to provide essential data on key oceanographic parameters, NEPTUNE is more than just a data collection tool—it’s a sustainable solution for addressing the urgent needs of our marine ecosystems. Equipped with advanced sensors to measure pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and wave characteristics, NEPTUNE Drifter delivers real-time insights crucial for understanding and protecting our oceans. With its rugged, solar-powered design, NEPTUNE is capable of continuous deployment, offering both cost-effectiveness and durability, even in challenging conditions.
Affordable
Positioned at a lower price point, NEPTUNE Drifter is accessible to smaller research institutions, educational programs, and community projects with limited budgets, contrasting with premium options like Saildrone and Sofar Ocean.
Open-Source and Modular Design
Unlike the proprietary systems of competitors, NEPTUNE Drifter’s fully open-source and modular setup allows users to customize and adapt it for specific needs, providing versatility across various research and monitoring applications.
Broad Sensor Compatibility
With support for multiple environmental sensors (e.g., pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity), NEPTUNE Drifter enables comprehensive data collection in one platform, which is a significant advantage over competitors with fixed sensor configurations.
User Accessibility and Community Support
The open-source nature of NEPTUNE Drifter encourages community contributions, making it particularly appealing to research organizations and educational users seeking hands-on experience and adaptability.
Regional Focus with Expansion Potential
Designed with local markets like New England in mind, where coastal research is a priority, NEPTUNE Drifter offers targeted applications in high-demand areas, with potential scalability to broader markets nationally and internationally.
