OUR SOLUTION
Wireless Underwater Communication
Subatron enables reliable wireless communication underwater, where conventional technologies fail. Our system delivers stable data transmission over long distances and under challenging conditions, creating the foundation for real-time subsea operations.
We provide a robust communication layer that allows underwater systems, sensors, and operators to exchange data with confidence — improving safety, efficiency, and mission success.
Current Situation
Limited and Unreliable Communication
Conventional wireless communication does not work underwater, as radio waves attenuate rapidly in water. Existing acoustic systems are often limited in data rate, range, or reliability and are highly sensitive to environmental conditions.
Dependence on Cables
Due to unreliable wireless links, many underwater operations still rely on cables or tethers for data transmission and control. While effective, these systems restrict mobility, increase setup complexity, and raise operational risk, especially in dynamic or safety-critical environments.
Inefficient and Costly Operations
Limited communication leads to delayed data access, repeated missions, and longer operation times. The lack of reliable wireless connectivity prevents autonomous underwater systems from operating efficiently and increases costs across industrial, scientific, and environmental applications.
Our System
Ultrasonic Waves – combine long range and high data rates
Our system uses advanced ultrasonic waves to combine long-range communication with high data rates. This enables reliable data transmission even in complex underwater environments, where conventional solutions struggle.
Modular Frequencies – to ensure safety in every mission
Subatron operates across modular frequency ranges to ensure stable and safe communication under varying conditions. The system can be adapted to different environments and mission requirements, optimizing reliability and performance.
Easy to Use – connect to your hardware and get mission-ready
Designed for seamless integration, Subatron connects easily with existing hardware and control systems. Minimal setup and intuitive operation allow teams to deploy the system quickly and focus on the mission rather than the technology.
