LUMA X-UV Passes 1200 Bar Pressure Test, Hydromea says
;Oceans remain one of the most unexplored places on our planet due to their extreme conditions. At Hydromea, we are committed to changing that narrative by developing technology that thrives in the harshest underwater environments. Our LUMA X products enable unparalleled high-bandwidth near-range wireless connectivity underwater, extending to the full depths of Earth's oceans. By doing so, we provide research teams and the offshore energy industry with new means to communicate with sensors and collect data at lightning speed. The compact form factor of our LUMA X modems, comparable to a soda can, allows

on communications techniques to further improve data rates. The company plans to integrate with UUVs, not just fixed nodes but mobile nodes and would like to work on a semi-permanent deployment of a grid of modems – 1 kilometer by 1 kilometer, with nine modems – in order to provide wireless connectivity in that grid to wireless assets.“The goal this summer is to generate a real underwater network that’s wireless,” Demirors said
ScanReach Joins KVH Watch Solution Partner Program
KVH Industries said Tuesday that ScanReach, an innovator in onboard wireless connectivity solutions designed specifically for the steel vessel environment, has joined the KVH Watch Solution Partner program and will offer KVH Watch Cloud Connect services.According to the press release, ScanReach’s onboard wireless connectivity technology enables data to travel anywhere on the vessel without cabling, and, combined with KVH Watch Cloud Connect, the data will travel to the cloud for useful data analysis to improve vessel performance."This collaboration between ScanReach and KVH Watch Cloud
Subsea IMR Moves Robotic
subsea-resident Eelume systems will operate in battery-powered, tethered control mode, but before the end of the year are expected to demonstrate tetherless operations.Credit: EelumeStaying “Connected”To support widespread tetherless operations of AUVs it will be necessary to provide wireless connectivity to the systems. Acoustic modems are useful for long-range connections but offer limited bandwidth. Optical systems can provide much more robust bandwidth but over limited ranges. A collective system can offer one approach to this challenge. Ioseba Tena, Global Business Manager at Sonardyne
Lowrance Debuts High Powered HDS Multifunction Displays
from the same transducer with a dual channel CHIRP sonar transducer installed on their boat. Anglers can also cover more water and mark fish targets more clearly with Network Dual Sounder technology, which provides sonar data from a network of CHIRP transducers. In addition to integrated wireless connectivity that enables anglers to download software updates and map purchases directly to the unit, HDS Carbon features Bluetooth control of multiple Power-Pole shallow water anchors and Bluetooth audio streaming from the SonicHub 2 marine entertainment system. Anglers can navigate with ease with HDS
Sonar Software Adds Detail to Boaters' Navionics SonarCharts
detail of their own charts by recording sonar while going about their normal boating activities. Now compatible with sonar log data formats from leading echosounder and GPS chartplotter manufacturers Lowrance, Raymarine, Simrad and B&G in addition to Humminbird and Garmin, with innovative wireless connectivity for supported devices, Navionics makes it easier than ever for users to share sonar recordings which improve SonarCharts for future trips. Navionics explains that boaters inevitably find themselves in areas where they would like to see more detail on their charts. Whether cruising

it is well known in this industry, the sole use of batteries to provide energy is a severe limiting factor. Further the pods have a plug and play capability where the sensor modules can be changed depending on the goals of the deployment. DSPComm’s Aqauacomm modems and Transducers power the wireless connectivity of the pods. Acoustic wireless communications are critical for the system as the health of the pods can be monitored remotely as well as data reticulation between the pods as well as the surface. The networking system is designed so that up to 100 pods can be networked in one area. The range
