The main component of the system is a deep water deployment buoy, that provides a stable platform for a complex control and communication system. Specialist hybrid mooring systems are designed to suit the conditions in which they are installed. Design of the deep-water mooring system is critical and must consider many site-related variables to ensure reliable, long-term performance. Professional buoy modelling software is used to design moorings that ensure the buoy remains reliable and that the asset lifespan is maximised.
Pressure sensors are deployed on the seabed at depths of up to 7,000 metres, to detect pressure variations resulting from the energy expelled from an undersea earthquake event.
The sensor communicates with the buoy via an acoustic data link using wide-band ultrasound, and data is fed into the buoy-based CPU, which acts as an interface to the shore-based control centre. The buoy-based CPU receives data from the sensor, processes it and sends it to the Control Centre, the entire process taking less than 60 seconds.

The Control Centre is designed to process and display the data in a single graphical format and can be used to produce graphs and reports automatically. Alerts can be automatically configured to be broadcasted in a variety of ways and can be integrated into mass-notification systems.
Buoys are marked in accordance with IALA Standards and Recommendations for safety of navigating vessels. Marine lanterns, radar reflectors and day marks are fitted for a high level of conspicuity at day and night. Buoys can be configured with AIS AtoN as an option, to provide additional signalling to marine traffic.
