Reserve bouy is released by the ATR™ on set time.

PopupBuoy™

Our PopupBuoy solution is based on a reserve buoy inside the buoy to be uses on any submerges unit. 

If a unit stays submerged for an extended periode the backup buoy is released by our ATR™ solution. (Automatic Time Release).

It prevent ghost gear loss before it happens, instead of dealing with it afterwards, thus getting rid of ghost nets.

Why use PopupBuoy?

PopupBuoy is a convenient and affordable buoy system with included backup that includes a programmable electronic release mechanism. It helps locate and retrieve lost underwater equipment.

Setting up the system is easy, and once you've set it up initially, it will work on its own without requiring any additional input. Our ATR™ system allows release of the reserve buoy after a specific number of days. When the reserve buoy is activated, the strobe light will start flashing allowing easy retrival.
