Simply put, SIDUS Solutions builds high quality products and offers outstanding support. Founded in September 2000 as Sidus Solutions Inc., the company was reorganized as SI- DUS Solutions, LLC in April 2010 with the partnership of Rolloos Holdings (Top Side Offshore Technology), a Dutch corporation. The joint business activities are directed towards assisting, supporting and increasing safety, efÞ ciency and control of business operations. SIDUS Solutions, LLC ben- eÞ ts from a broad group of agents in several strategic loca- tions worldwide (North & South America, Europe, Asia and Australia). Recently a new Houston Area ofÞ ce was opened as part of SIDUSÕ 2012 expansion plans. Currently, one of the main focus point for SIDUS is Situ- ational Awareness, as worldwide, on-going pressure is being placed on the safe extraction and operation in oil and gas ex- ploration. After the Deepwater Horizon accident, the US and other world governments have mandated ÔSituational Aware- nessÕ to the daily operations of large and small operators. The new checks and balances help verify the safe operation of each asset. SIDUS Solutions designs and manufactures cutting-edge subsea video cameras, lighting and robotic positioning de-vices for extreme environments. It also specializes in custom, end-to-end underwater systems including customized control- lers and cabling. Their engineering staff provides seamless system integration, design, installation and commissioning of all remote video surveillance systems SIDUSÕ cameraÕs range from high deÞ nition, high and low resolution color, monochrome, low-light to infrared. SIDUS also provides the ability to transmit the images via LAN/WAN or the Internet.The SIDUS SS501 deep sea pointing and scaling device uti- lizes a powerful 55mW, 532 nm green laser. With a range of nearly 20 miles, this product outperforms other less power- ful underwater laser devices. SIDUS has the ability to direct any camera, sonar transducer, antenna or sensor that requires a positioning device, capable of moving to precisely where the target is. Their positioning products achieve smooth mo- tion at desired speeds by using high torque motors with low backlash gears.SIDUS S OLUTIONS , LLC SIDUS S OLUTIONS , LLC 5555 Magnatron Blvd, Suite G, San Diego CA 92111 5555 Magnatron Blvd, Suite G, San Diego CA 92111 Tel: 619-275-5533 Tel: 619-275-5533 Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] http://sidus-solutions.com http://sidus-solutions.comCEO: Leonard Pool CEO: Leonard Pool Marketing Director: Marian Slagman Marketing Director: Marian Slagman Engeneering Director: Marc New Engeneering Director: Marc New Number of Employees: 14 Number of Employees: 14 OceanServer Technology 151 Martine St., Fall River, MA 02723 Tel: (508) 678-0550 www.ocean-server.com [email protected] President: Bob Anderson Engineering Manager: Jon Crowell OceanServer Technology, Inc. is a provider of man-portable AUVs, three axis digital compasses and high efÞ -ciency Lithium Ion battery solutions.
