Secure Ocean Asset Tracking with Xeos by Satlink

 

Imagine deploying your new, innovative sensor array or AUV into the ocean, only to lose contact with it entirely. No signal. No recovery. Just silence. It’s a scenario that’s becoming all too familiar in ocean operations. From scientific instruments to subsea vehicles and offshore infrastructure, the ocean swallows billions in technology every year. And it’s not just the financial hit — it’s the loss of data, time, and momentum in understanding and protecting our marine world.

 

So, how do we protect the assets we put in the sea?

 

Built to perform in the planet’s harshest conditions, Xeos by Satlink have developed a range of recovery beacons to ensure critical ocean assets can be reliably tracked, located, and retrieved—even from depths up to 11,00m. Whether deployed in the Arctic, Southern Ocean, or coastal zones, Xeos’ diversity of beacons are suited to a variety of applications.

 

Xeos Technologies has engineered a range of Iridium-enabled submersible beacons—including the Apollo series and XMI X models—designed specifically for deep-sea missions requiring uncompromising performance and connectivity. These beacons are capable of operating at extreme ocean depths, with deployment tolerances reaching an impressive 11,000m, allowing them to support even the most demanding subsea projects. Integration with the Iridium satellite network, enables global two-way communication and real-time GPS tracking of submerged assets, ensuring you stay connected—even in remote oceanic locations beyond the reach of traditional telemetry systems.

 

Built with durability at their core, the Apollo series and XMI X models offer submerged endurance of over two years without surfacing or maintenance. When the time comes to relay critical data, they autonomously rise to the surface and transmit their position, status updates, and diagnostic information via satellite—providing robust asset tracking throughout long-term deployments.

 

Xeos Technologies AIS-compatible Petrel beacons streamline the recovery process for short-range offshore missions by automatically transmitting location data to nearby vessels the moment they surface. This smart positioning capability allows for faster, more efficient tracking and retrieval, reducing operational delays and enhancing safety. Available in both self-contained and remote-head configurations, Petrel beacons offer flexible integration across a wide variety of subsea platforms—including Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), and other marine systems—making them a versatile, valuable asset in modern underwater operations. Submersible to 6,000m depths with deployment durability of up to one year, the Petrel beacon systems are engineered to deliver reliable performance even in the harshest conditions.

 

In an increasingly unforgiving ocean environment, reliable recovery solutions are no longer optional—they’re essential. Xeos Technologies equips marine operators with a robust arsenal of beacon systems to safeguard assets, preserve data, and maintain operational momentum across every mission. ‘RWhen recovery can’t be left to chance’, Xeos ensures that what goes into the ocean returns, with cutting-edge engineering and global connectivity.
