Texcel is pleased to announce its selection by the Marine Institute of Ireland for the design and manufacture of a cabled subsea observation system.

This follows Texcel's design and manufacturing solutions used on the NEPTUNE and RSN cabled observations networks, allowing Texcel to support a whole family of coastal and deep water ocean observation solutions.

The cable end Node for Galway is of particular interest as it gives unprecedented numbers of science ports with a high degree of configurability for science port operating voltages, powers and communication interfaces. Tested to a depth of over 3000 meters with high bandwidth data communications and a proven design, Texcel is  expecting a number of orders for this Node.

Texcel is currently supporting a number of marine and subsea projects including being a member of the FixO3 European team, and speaking at the "Catch The Next Wave" conference as part of the Oceanology 2014 exhibition.
