Wave Flume The flume is 18m long, 0.9m wide and with a working water depth of 0.8m It is not only used by researchers within CERG but also by several students for their final year projects under the undergraduate and post-graduate programmes.
	It has a computer controlled wedge-shape paddle. The wave paddle can be programmed to generate regular as well as irregular waves, and have an active wave absorption control to reduce reflections. The paddle can also be programmed to generate focussed wave groups to create extreme wave conditions at a particular point along the flume.
Acoustic Wave and Current Profiler - AWAC This device is used to measure the current speed and direction in 1-m thick layers from the bottom to the surface. It can measure long waves, storm waves, short wind waves, or transient waves Target applications for the AWAC is long term monitoring of waves and currents near the coast. The sensor is mounted in a frame on the bottom, protected from the harsh weather and passing ship traffic. Typical deployment depths are 1 to 40 meters. Currently in place for our RF-PBLE project
	Trimble 5800 kit Trimble 5800 is a new generation of Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS system which use VRS (Virtual Reference Station) as the base station. Trimble's VRS system uses the RTK solutions from the Trimble RTKNet software and provides high-accuracy, real-time kinematic GPS positioning for wider areas. The fixed VRS network is available at any time without setting up a base station and provides common control wherever you are in the network
ARGUS Cameras The ARGUS system takes its name from the Greek mythological giant with a hundred eyes, which was ordered by Hera to watch Io. The typical  components of an ARGUS system are : A series of video cameras mounted on a high vantage point (tower or cliff). A computer system with a frame grabbing card. Connection to a University-based server via a modem and telephone line. The cameras are attached to an SGI O2 Unix Workstation, where the data are collected controlled by  on-board tasking software. The images are relayed via modems through telephone lines on to a local server and the World Wide Web. These systems are continually evolving in order to keep pace with technological developments. This system is currently at place for our RF-PBLE project
	High Performance Computer The Faculty of Technology operate a High Performance Computing cluster for advanced computational work. This currently has 88 processors and supports parallel FORTRAN and C with associated scientific and statistical libraries. The cluster is accessible to members of CERG, who are one of the main users of the facility. New Computer clusters are being installed.
