We are building the Digital Ocean to enable economic growth, increase security, and ensure the sustainability of our planet.
The ocean is the last great frontier. It covers most of the Earth’s surface, produces 70% of our oxygen, and is a significant source of food and jobs. It’s also an increasingly contested battlespace, as nations seek to protect their waters and resources.
The ocean will undergo a profound transformation over the next decade to address these problems. Sensors, connectivity, cloud computing—the same technology that has revolutionized terrestrial applications is coming to the sea.
The Wave Glider, an unmanned ocean robot, is the essential technology for this transformation. Sitting at the surface, the Wave Glider is the only unmanned system capable of collecting and communicating ocean data, real-time, through all weather conditions, for up to one year. It connects subsea data and communicates it to satellites and land, creating an ocean network.
This ocean network will make waters safer, help us better manage valuable resources, and create new jobs and economic opportunities.
