Hydromea Moves Fast Forward on Subsea Robotics, Comms Tech
today the company has eight products in three different production lines. “The first is our disc drive thrusters, which are the thinnest rim driven thrusters in the world; we have two different models available,” said Schill. “We have a line of high-speed optical underwater communication devices called LUMA with five different models going from ultra-low power to very high bandwidth for live video streaming. And we just launched EXRAY, which is a wireless inspection ROV.”Two Decades & CountingWhile Hydromea was founded in 2015, its history stretches almost 20 years ago
Meet NOUS: An Underwater ‘Artificial Mind’
consisting of an underwater array of self-cleaning cameras and microphones, which are either connected by optical fiber and electrical power conductor to the nearest shore, or to a floating platform on the sea surface. On the shore or on the platform there is a photovoltaic panel power supply and communication devices for Internet connection.On the occasion of the successful completion of the initial operation phase of the "NOUS" system in Alonissos, more detailed information and perspectives are presented in this article.The system was installed in February 2020, at the ancient shipwreck of
Ashtead Technology, Hydromea in Subsea Wireless Tech Deal
Swiss-based autonomous underwater robotics company will benefit from Ashtead Technology’s sales and distribution network including facilities in Aberdeen, Abu Dhabi, Halifax, Houston and Singapore."Hydromea is pioneering scalable wireless subsea access with its high-speed underwater communication devices under the LUMA brand. The LUMA products are the smallest, lightest, lowest power consuming optical modems that provide high-speed and high-bandwidth wireless communication at depths of up to 6,000 meters with remarkably low latency," Ashtead said.David Mair, Ashtead Technology&rsquo
Technology Advances Fisheries Management
(PNA), a sub-regional governance body that controls the world's largest sustainable tuna purse seine fishery, was the first in the region to adopt this technology as part of their fisheries observer program. The initiative places ruggedized tablet computers and Rock7 Satellite Personal Communication Devices (PCDs) into the hands of fisheries authorities, so they can better monitor fish catches and, in turn, verify and validate catch records and regulatory requirements such as Vessel Days at Sea allocations. The hardware will support one of the most prominent information management systems in

EvoLogics Modems Connect AUV Fleet
, Logically Linked Physical Nodes (MORPH) European Project concluded five-day sea trials in Toulon (FR), having integrated several AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) and ASVs (Autonomous Surface Vehicles) into a coordinated multi-node MORPH system using EvoLogics underwater acoustic communication devices. The MORPH project was launched in February 2012 under coordination of Atlas Elektronik GmbH (DE). It advances a novel concept of an underwater robotic system composed of spatially separated mobile modules, each carrying complementary underwater sensors. The modules are connected by an
EvoLogics Showcase Latest Developments
EvoLogics extended its ranges of underwater acoustic modems (S2CR series) and combined positioning and communication devices (S2CR USBL series), with new products - the S2CR 42/65 and S2CR 42/65 USBL, high-speed devices with hemispherical beam patterns for transmissions in vertical, slant and horizontal channels. Both devices rely on the EvoLogics patented S2C (Sweep-Spread Carrier) broadband communication technology. • The SiNAPS (S2C intelligent Navigation and Positioning Software) was designed to control the EvoLogics USBL (ultrashort baseline) underwater positioning systems and provides
EvoLogics to Showcase at Ocean Business 2013
