BaseStation Plus

The BaseStation Plus is an enhancement to the Blue Robotics BlueBoat BaseStation, modified by Cerulean Sonar. The BaseStation Plus is a plug-and-play system that doesn't require wiring and requires only the same configuration as is needed for the BaseStation or the Fathom-X tether box.

BaseStation Plus starts with the following features of the standard BaseStation:

• Long range Wi-Fi access point between your Wi-Fi devices and the BlueBoat, and/or a Wi-Fi radio on your Omnitrack buoy such as this one.

• USB connection between the BaseStation Plus and your laptop, for power and to connect to your PC-based software such as QGroundControl.

• Rechargeable battery for stand-alone operation.

• Front-panel stand-alone controls.

• Water resistant.

To this, we add:

• Fathom-X tether interface to replace your BlueROV Fathom-x interface box.

• Bridge between the long range Wi-Fi network (BlueBoat and/or Omnitrack on the BlueBoat's Wi-Fi or its own Wi-Fi) and the BlueROV network, enabling Omnitrack to talk to the ROV.

• Two hardwired Ethernet ports on the combined network for direct Ethernet connection to the Omnitrack in a tethered system, and/or to other Ethernet devices such as BlueBoat or BlueROV payload controllers.
