Goal 4 – Innovation: Enable innovation in telecommunications/ICT in support of the digital transformation of society

By collecting real-time data from buoys equipped with Iridium® transceivers – as well as with shark bait – Marine Instruments technology helps to keep beachgoers safe in shark-infested areas of the Indian Ocean. Since environmentalists can now safely transport these sharks away from the beaches, this innovative use of IOT technology protects the tourism industry, marine ecosystems, and human lives, all at the same time.
