Hydromea

The Swiss-based company Hydromea announced advances in underwater optical modem technology and development of an underwater monitoring system capable of daily data sweeps remotely.

Tested within a full ballast water tank on a North Sea FPSO, the ROV collected visual inspection data, validating system performance including wireless navigation and wireless communication.

The subsea-technology company’s LUMA X subsea wireless communication modem will enable real-time streaming of HD-quality video and 4K images wirelessly through water, allowing the operators of autonomous underwater vehicles to monitor its interventions from its control rooms onshore.
