Finnish Ice Buoys are designed to withstand the harsh ice and weather conditions during winter period. Often they are equipped with sensors and wireless communication that makes it possible remotely to monitor the buoys and other AtoN’s too on line. Monitored parameters are for example the location, lantern performance and battery power level. There are almost two thousand units of such intelligent buoys in the Finnish fairways and the amount is growing steadily. More than a hundred buoys are interactively controlled on line so that it is possible to adjust the light intensity according to prevailing visibility and weather conditions when navigating in the area.
