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.

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