Notice of Intent (NOI)

The existing telemetry network, valued at over 500,000 USD, is comprised exclusively of VEMCO-brand equipment, which is proprietary to Innovasea Systems Inc. The several thousand ultrasonic transmitters already deployed in the river by USACE and its key agency partners (including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Southern Illinois University, and the U.S. Geological Survey) can only be detected and decoded by VEMCO receivers. Innovasea owns the patent to this technology. Procuring equipment from any other source would render the entire existing network inoperable and jeopardize the multi-million-dollar federal program. Therefore, Innovasea is the only source capable of providing the supplies that will meet the Governments requirements for interoperability and mission continuity.
