The Xeos Story
Committed to our customers
We design and manufacture telemetry and data collection products for reliable & innovative ways to track, monitor and control moorings, buoys and autonomous vehicles in harsh environments.
Xeos has been designing and manufacturing low power monitoring equipment for remote applications since our beginning in 2004. We have designed many unique products, some of which are highlighted in our history below:
Development of the Petrel X Relay, an AIS compatible data relay for monitoring nearby ships for autonomous vehicles. Redesign of the RAM electronics, to form the RAM 200, an Embedded Iridium Proximity System for border security.
In January 2024, Xeos was acquired by Satlink. Founded in 1992, Satlink is a world leading technology provider that develops solutions focused on ocean knowledge and sustainability, improving the management of ocean resources and working closely with industry, governments and NGOs. Redesign of the electronics and firmware of our AIS compatible beacon to make an superior product, the Petrel X.
Redesign of the electronics and firmware of Iridium GPS recovery beacons. Introduction of the Apollo X and Rover X as a superior upgrade to the original product line.
Development of the worlds first submersible AIS compatible recovery beacon, The Petrel. Development of Nemo V, a submersible Iridium data relay for autonomous vehicles. Development of the Ares water quality sensor product line (Turbidity, Chlorophyll-a, Duo).
Development of the XMi-2.0. A redesign of the XMI-11K using Apollo beacon hardware.
Development of the Nemo S, a remote two-way monitoring data relay designed for surface applications.
Development of the Hermes, a handheld satellite beacon locator designed to accurately locate Xeos beacons while at sea.
Development of the Brizo-X ocean wave sensor. This new GNSS based sensor accurately calculates the first 5 wave coefficients.
Development of our own Yagi 160Mhz receiver antenna used with the XMB transmitter to aid in mooring recovery. Began the migration of L1 only GPS products to multi constellation GNSS.
Development of the OSKER, low cost, disposable ocean surface tracker.
Design of the Apollo recovery beacon, a GPS Iridium LED flasher location beacon with an 11,000m depth rating.
Mechanical re-design of Micro Beacon line to 11,000m (full ocean depth) and the addition of the XMI GPS Iridium beacon. Development of the Onyx, a miniaturized Iridium GPS tracker.
Design of the Rover Iridium GPS surface beacon, featuring a novel antenna and battery pack design.
Design of the next generation Argos transmitter.
Development of the Kilo Beacon for 1000m depths (later revised to 2500m).
Design of Radio micro beacon (XMB) and Argos micro beacon (XMA) rated for 7500m depth.
Design of the XMF, first micro recovery beacons (LED flashers). Redesign of Sable antenna using Xeos proprietary Iridium/GPS design.
Development of the first surface Iridium mooring beacon (Melo).
Development of the Sable, our first Iridium Mooring Recovery Beacon for deep deployments (5000m).
Development of the Hammerhead miniaturized Argos-2 PTT transmitter.
First mooring product development and our first utilizing Iridium (Casabel).
Xeos was formed when 3 engineers left a great local engineering company to start an even greater one.
