TideMaster has been designed to provide an accurate, versatile and easily deployed tide gauge for use in short or long term survey operations with either pressure or radar sensor measurement. Optional control/display panel, Bluetooth, SD card memory and optional weather sensor provide unrivalled functionality.  Low power consumption and user selectable sampling regime allow for up to a year of autonomous operation, whilst optional telemetry packages  extend the capabilities for real time operations. TideMaster is compatible with a wide range of hydrographic software and tools.

Data Telemetry Unit
Valeport’s GPRS data telemetry solution is supplied in our robust IP67 housing, which also contains an internal battery pack for total autonomy.  Compatible with most Valeport products as well as some other third party products, these GPRS telemetry units are designed to provide data files from the instrument to third party Internet / FTP sites and data display services.
The units are supplied pre-configured with a pay as you go SIM from GO-SIM. (http://www.gosim.com/), these SIM cards provide GPRS coverage in ~80 countries (subject to coverage). While these cards may not be the most cost-effective solution in a particular country they allow a great deal of flexibility and on average in Europe, data costs are ~ £0.01 per transmission.

UHF Transceiver Unit
Valeport radio telemetry solutions are centered on our IP67 housed package offering UHF transmission options. The robust housing contains back up battery capability to cover short term survey work or power outs. Compatible with most Valeport products, the units are designed to provide transparent links between instrument and operating software, as well as third party Internet / FTP data display services.

Port Log
Port-Log is a quick and easy storage and publishing solution for environmental data acquired by different monitoring techniques and sensors. It is offered by OceanWise as an on-line Service or as part of a comprehensive System deployed on your servers. Port-Log is designed to be instrument and transmission independent, so that it can be used flexibly and comprehensively within most applicable environments.
