WFS Wireless Subsea Communications

WFS Wireless Subsea Communications

Wireless For Subsea (WFS) is a global leader in the delivery of underwater wireless instrumentation and control solutions to the Offshore Oil and Gas and Renewables industries.

Wireless technology is established as a powerful communication and network tool in many surface applications. The adoption of a wireless approach to producing highly instrumented subsea equipment removes the physical cabling requirement and makes it far more practical and cost-effective to deploy and maintain a far greater number of sensors. The technology may also offer benefits for temporary setups, during system installation; and in work-over operations.

WFS offer wireless systems to provide the following functionality:

  • Communications
  • Sensors and Instrumentation
  • Process Control
  • Data logging
  • Subsea Video
  • Wireless Power Transfer

Subsea Wireless applications in Offshore Oil & Gas include:

  • High-reliability connectors for LMRP/BOP (Wireless data + power to avoid wet mating)
  • Store and retrieve data locally (Wireless Black Box Recorder)
  • Avoidance of ROV umbilical snag (Wireless Video Camera replaces 2nd ROV for third-eye view)
  • Reduce support vessel size (eliminate 2nd
  • Faster Data Recovery (Wireless data logger)
  • Faster hot stabs (Wireless Video Camera for third-eye view)
  • Control of subsea rotating machines (Wireless slip ring for data + power)
  • Re-flash of software and trouble-shooting (Wireless communications)
  • Retrofit integrity management sensors (Wireless Pipeline and Riser sensors Wireless Slip Ring for Decommissioning Operations)
