Support is just a click away

Remote Offshore Access Module (ROAM) delivers you a suite of Sonardyne operational survey services without us physically attending your worksite.

Our experienced engineers can provide help with your calibrations, box-ins, system health checks and more at the click of a button. Using ROAM, Sonardyne engineers located anywhere in the world can provide you with expert, pre-arranged technical guidance during live marine operations, simplifying travel logistics, decreasing environmental impact and reducing your operational costs.

This one-box, pay-as-you-go solution can be used to access a range of Sonardyne systems used within the offshore energy, science and defence sectors. Depending on the services required, ROAM can interface to Fusion 2 LBL, Fusion 2 INS, Ranger 2 USBL, Sentinel IDS, Vigilant FLS and other Sonardyne systems.

PAYG remote operational support

ROAM allows our engineers to take control and operate your Sonardyne system as though they were in the control room with you.

ROAM achieves the remote connections by setting up an online portal through a secure VPN connection. The hardware then connects via either cellular data connections, Wi-Fi or your satellite communications, and can be configured to automatically switch between these connections, minimising the risk of disruption in the sea-to-shore link, and ensuring the most effective service is being used. All access is logged, and remote sessions are tracked allowing for a full audit trail.

Sonardyne engineer access via ROAM to your equipment can be restricted or removed by you at any time providing you with full control. If required, we can also arrange a portal for your engineers to access your systems on the vessel via the ROAM box.

By not having to travel to support your operations, we’re all helping to cut down the emissions footprint associated with working offshore, less flights, car journeys, boat and helicopter transfers. There’s also no delays or costs in arranging travel, security or visas
