Underwater wireless modem
An Australian company, DSPComm has developed the Aquacomm underwater acoustic data modem . The Aquacomm modem provides highly reliable underwater communications at a fraction of the cost of competitive products.
With a reliable wireless communications system such as DSPComm's AquaComm, it is possible to have a communications system for divers so that diving is made safer. This means the surface can keep track of the diver and send messages to other divers or send assistance should a diver get into trouble.
AquaComm could revolutionise the diving industry making it safer and more accessible to a wider audience. The industry also benefits from lower insurance and operational costs. Some of the applications that AquaComm can be used for in diving are:
Communications with the surface and other divers
Diver being able to send distress calls
Diver recall and assistance provision
Real-time instructions and data to divers carrying out complex underwater tasks such as on subsea oil rigs
Diver tracking and sending position information to divers
AQUAComm underwater wireless modem is available as a packaged, ready to go acoustic modem system, or as an OEM board set for OEM product manufacturers and system integrators.
