Overview

OceanComm develops high-speed wireless underwater communication systems using acoustic-modem technology to move data through seawater. Its main product, an ultrasound-based modem, connects to existing Ethernet networks to enable tetherless control of underwater vehicles and real-time data, including video, from subsea environments. The company stands out by using patented signal-processing algorithms that achieve 100–1,000 times higher data rates in the underwater setting and by serving defense, offshore energy, and oceanographic research clients with ready-to-use networking capabilities. OceanComm’s goal is to help offshore operators reduce costs by providing real-time data access, video streaming, and remote control of subsea assets.
