oPodTM Mini

Australia’s first self‑powered data buoy delivering predictive powers for ocean industries.

It’s small. It’s smart. It’s self‑powered.

A compact, sub-30 kg buoy that delivers live ocean intelligence and predicts what’s coming — for aquaculture, desalination, reef restoration, and marine protection. Solar‑powered. Deployable by one person.

Bring your ocean online.

Series 1 now available. Series 2 pictured, coming soon.

Monitoring. Made Simple.

Adapt your oPod Mini™ to any mission with a flexible, plug‑and‑play sensor interface. From temperature, dissolved oxygen, and wave height to pH, turbidity, salinity, and chlorophyll — add, swap, or upgrade anytime, anywhere.

Ready for Anywhere.

The oPod Mini™ is storm‑proven and light enough for one‑person deployment, tough enough for remote, rapid, and swarm-deployable, multi‑unit missions.

Ocean data you can bank on

Solar charging and intelligent power management ensure round-the-clock, autonomous operation with no external infrastructure.
