How does it work?

SafetyNet Ocean is designed to be a multi-user system, delivering data effortlessly between land-based control rooms, offshore service platforms, service vessels, workers within the field, and to workers inside a turbine tower, within an integrated wireless system.   

One of the standout features of SafetyNet Ocean is its scalability, allowing the system to grow and adapt as the project evolves. This flexibility means that organisations can start with a basic setup and expand the system incrementally, spreading out the costs over time rather than facing a large, upfront capital expenditure.

Gateway Repeater
A dedicated radio channel optimised to work inside each turbine and link voice communications to the main site wide TETRA system using a Gateway Repeater.

Location Beacon
When a radio user moves in the tower, a location beacon is detected which automatically switches the radio to the turbine channel. When they leave and enter a vessel, the radio detects another beacon which switches it back to the main Tetra network. The beacons can also track asset tags moving into a tower or vessel.

Track and alert
SafetyNet Locator software can monitor the location of a person and assets to generate alerts triggered by:

  • Real-time location monitoring for assistance to be despatched to an exact location

  • Movement of radio users entering a designated area using location beacons or GPS

  • Tracking of Assets or personnel passing through areas monitored by location beacons in each tower, vessel or placed in areas of specific interest

  • Lack of movement, or Man Down on a radio i.e. when the radio detects that is has been lying on its side for an extended period

  • Safety Poll on a radio i.e. when the radio user does not responded to an automatic poll to confirm that they are okay

  • The use of an emergency or duress button on a radio or a dedicated personal alarm

The Importance of Data 

Beyond safety, SafetyNet Ocean plays a crucial role in the transfer of data, thanks to its advanced telemetry capabilities. The system’s integrated sensors and telemetry systems allow for comprehensive data transfer and collection. The telemetry system enables real-time data transmission to centralised databases, facilitating immediate analysis and decision-making. This data is invaluable for operational decision-making and more efficient offshore operations.
 
Data is not only used for immediate operational purposes but also contributes to long-term research and environmental monitoring efforts.
