AXYS wave and current buoy to monitor facility in Persian Gulf

AXYS Technologies Inc. (AXYS) has won a competitive contract from a major oil and gas company for the supply of a TRIAXYS™ directional wave monitoring buoy with an integrated Nortek Aquadopp Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP).

The TRIAXYS™ with Currents buoy will enhance the safety of the oil company's employees and the local marine environment in the Persian Gulf.

TRIAXYS™ with Currents is a rugged, lightweight data collection buoy. The 0.9m diameter solar-powered instrument collects, processes, stores and transmits wave and current information to a shore base station in almost real time. Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) operators, ship masteres and pilots will be able to access buoy data via AXYS' proprietary WaveView™ software.

The buoy was recently air freighted to Doha, Qatar and will be deployed with AXYS Field Service Specialist (FSS) assistance in mid-September 2006.

AXYS Technologies Inc. designs, manufactures, distributes and maintains remote environmental data acquisition, processing and telemetry systems.
