GOVAN Area Selection Checklist
Marine communications
2026-11 / v126

Surface buoys & monitoring nodes
Combine sensing payloads, acquisition control, power management and telemetry for marine surface observation.
- Deployment: area, depth, sea state, mooring and service interval.
- Payload: sensors, interfaces, acquisition and calibration needs.
- Energy: supply source, measurement schedule, communications and storage constraints.
- Telemetry & shore: coverage, volume, latency and management platform.

Mooring acquisition & subsea recorders
Develop low-power acquisition, logging, pressure-housing integration and recovery readout for submerged observations.
- Environment: target depth, pressure, temperature, corrosion and duration.
- Acquisition: sensor interfaces, schedule, clock and data volume.
- Energy & structure: batteries, sleep behavior, seals and connectors.
- Recovery & readout: service interval, download method, integrity and test conditions.

BeiDou, satellite & marine links
Integrate positioning, timing, short messages, satellite links, HF radio and equipment interfaces around marine operations.
- Traffic: message content, priorities, intervals and tolerable delay.
- Coverage & terminals: operating region, antennas, mounting and installed equipment.
- Interfaces & scheduling: protocols, buffering, retries and link switching.
- Operations: service activation, access rights, service charges and maintenance responsibilities.

Shore-to-sea monitoring platforms
Organize stations, devices, observations and alarms for shore-side visibility and maintenance coordination.
- Assets: station inventory, locations and management structure.
- Sources: terminal protocols, fields, intervals and historical records.
- Workflows: alarm rules, duty teams, dispatch and incident closure.
- Hosting: networks, permissions, backups and connected systems.
