You can.CSignum is the only company in the world able to transmit data through the surface of seawater or fresh water – the “splash zone” – using electromagnetic energy. We give organisations real-time insights to their assets – even in the most adverse of environments – enabling them to improve efficiencies and safety while better managing their resources. And all causing zero damage. The potential impact of this technology on the world around us is profound and exciting. Our products are perfect for offshore wind farms, aquaculture, river monitoring or flood barriers … any sub-aqua locations with IoT technology – literally anywhere with equipment underwater which needs to send data somewhere else. CSignum technology also enables data to be transmitted through the seabed or riverbed, concrete and steel! This is the only non-mechanical way to get data across the water-air barrier that poses such difficulties for traditional methods of data transmission which rely on cabling.Cables can fail. Cables can break. Cables can damage the surrounding environment.⭐ Stormy weather? ⭐ Choppy water? ⭐ Bio-fouling? ⭐ Turbidity? None of these pose a problem for CSignum … in fact, the worse the water, the better! CSignum provides solutions to companies and organisations with underwater assets, overcoming all the limitations of acoustic, optical and cabled subsea communications. By transmitting data through the water-air boundary utilising electromagnetic fields, our clients can receive real-time data from any underwater locations or equipment.A CSignum underwater RadiEM modem enables automated data transmissions across the water-air boundary. It requires less maintenance, uses less power, can transmit through concrete or beneath the seabed, reduces emissions and protects aquatic life. Show less -
