Underwater Electromagnetic Technology Partnership

Tritech International of Aberdeen, Scotland and Wireless Fibre Systems of Livingston, Scotland announce a partnership agreement to promote radio frequency solutions for specific offshore Oil & Gas Industry use where electromagnetic techniques address niche underwater applications.
The companies plan to launch a number of innovative products in the near future including:
Dual mode Acoustic / RF modems to provide robust, high availability communications for safety critical applications
RF solutions for:

• High data transfer rate for ROV or AUV to sensor/data loggers
  
• Real time AUV control
  
• High resilience safety applications
  
• Sensor synchronisation
  
• Through water - air interface communication links
  
• Diver texting and telemetry

Key advantages of RF techniques in underwater applications are:

• Immunity to acoustic noise from wave action or machinery
  
• Removal of need for hard docking or mechanical linkages
  
• Immunity to disruptive multi-pathing in confined or cluttered environments
  
• Leverage of extensive telecoms digital technology.

Tritech International and Wireless Fibre Systems are committed to jointly developing a range of products to meet the demanding requirements of the under water environment using the most appropriate technology.
