Wireless Underwater Broadband Data Link18/03/2008 |
| A Consortium led by WFS Ltd has launched the world's first wireless RF underwater Broadband Data Link at Oceanology International 2008 in London in March 2008. The Type S5510 Data Link uses the latest electromagnetic digital technology to enable wireless high data rate transmission through water avoiding the need to wet-mate. |

Performance is unaffected by acoustic noise, turbidity mud or ice and data can cross through the water/air interface. It can also be used for through ground/rock applications.
The Data Link is one of 5 products developed for the offshore Oil and Gas industry under a GBP1.1 million (USD2.2 million), two-year research project to develop the wireless equipment. This research will be invaluable for oceanographic and environmental monitoring and through improved communications will increase safety for oil and gas industry workers.
The Data Link is the second product launched in this programme, the first being the hybrid Radio Acoustic Modem RAM-300 in September 2007.
