Optus: Clever Buoy

Embed Video
Top 6: October 1st 2014
Optus has Australia’s second largest telecommunication’s network. M&C Saatchi Sydney's task was to improve consumer awareness and brand perception, by changing the conversation from the size of the Optus Network to the amazing things it can do. In response they developed Clever Buoy. A smart ocean buoy that detects sharks and sends instant alerts to lifeguards via the Optus Network. Traditionally sharks are difficult to detect using sonar and no such detection technology exists anywhere in the world. So they developed a breakthrough method specifically calibrated to detect the shark’s size, and unique movement. Once a shark has been detected, a real-time message is transferred via Optus’ Inmarsat satellite to the lifeguard towers. This data is also shared with scientists and researchers in Google+.
