A team of marine biologists is conducting field research on coastal marine life, such as seals, seabirds, and tide-pool organisms. They spend several weeks at a time on research vessels and rugged coastal areas, far from reliable internet access.

The team:

• use rugged laptops, digital cameras, and handheld GPS trackers in wet, windy, and moving environments
• capture high-definition underwater video footage and high-resolution photographs
• need to transfer large data files quickly between devices in the field
• require storage that is highly durable and energy-efficient to prolong battery life.
