RBR Joins Smart Ocean Sensor Consortium (SOCS)

RBR is proud to announce that it has joined the Smart Ocean Sensor Consortium as a founding member The Smart Ocean Sensor Consortium is a group of manufacturers and users dedicated to improving the reliability, utility and cost-effectiveness of hydrographic sensor networks through the adoption, development, and promotion of appropriate standard interfaces and protocols. Manufacturing members will supply a universal unique identifier (UUID) with each compliant instrument, and will comply with a group-defined interface to retrieve the UUID from the device's serial port. The Consortium will work towards a sponsored submission to the Open Geospatial Consortium process as one of its goals for wider acceptance and dissemination.  Currently interest is concentrated around implementing the MBARI PUCK protocol.
