In 2022 Sofar Ocean Technologies came to Geocene because they saw an opportunity. Their satellite-connected buoys are collecting critical data all across the ocean.

Unfortunately, the satellite bills were enormous. Such costs are worth it in the middle of the sea. Near the shore? That's a different story. There are cell towers along the coast all over the world that could deliver even more data at a fraction of the cost of the satellites.

The Sofar Spotter Buoy is a complex and functional device. So how could Sofar's team quickly validate and deploy a cellular version?

Geocene and Sofar held some calls. We discussed the project requirements and settled on the Blues cellular connectivity solution. The Blues solution looked great. Their documentation was fantastic.

But it was bold: Blues was new. This project would be one of the first Blues commercial deployments anywhere.

It worked! We embedded a Blues Notecard in SoFar's PCB. Then, we connected their firmware and cloud services to the Blues Notehub. Two months later, they had cellular buoys. A couple of months after that, they were deployed in the ocean. Simple as that.

We're device experts. We can handle most communication methods, including those that simplify your life, like Blues.

We've done this before, and we'll save you time and money by doing it right.

When we say "engineering partner,"
we mean it

We rarely build to spec. Instead, we usually help our clients decide what the specification should be in an ongoing collaborative process. We're not just here to tick boxes, we know we've only succeeded when our clients look good to their investors.

Being an engineering partner means that we help you think hard about the challenges you face. Our clients tend to be nimble, ready to move as their understanding of their market and product fit changes over time. If you're like them, you'll appreciate our ability to adjust with you. We've spent our lifetimes solving complex problems, and we can apply the lessons we've learned to your situation.

Our diverse backgrounds support our broad experience:

  • We've been on the ground floor of billion-dollar startups.
  • We've earned advanced degrees from the world's most renowned universities.
  • We've been part of well-known tech giants like Apple before they were huge.
  • We've written software tools used by millions of users.
  • We've helped clients raise multiple millions of dollars.

When you work with us, we won't offshore your project. You'll work with our core team -- the same people you meet on day one will carry your project through to completion. When you work with us, you get real talent, and that's worth every penny.
