About Wsense
Wsense, is a deep tech company that brings patented technologies to the market to create underwater wireless networks. The company is one of the main pioneers of the concept of the Internet of Things for offshore (Internet of Underwater Things – IoUT), for the monitoring and eco-sustainable exploitation of marine environments. It has developed solutions to provide in situ continuous monitoring from marine, lakes and underwater environments, used to digitalize aquaculture (water quality monitoring, wireless structural monitoring, and fish welfare monitoring via its innovative W-Pico product supporting direct fish welfare monitoring).
The W-Pico unit developed by Wsense in the SEASTAR project together with Leroy SeafoodGroup and University of Bergen is a miniaturised communication and sensing unit for intra-body measurements in salmon. The 2-way communication is a smart enabler for effective lifetime power management of the sensing unit, and for robust communication between the sensing unit and the system receivers.
