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)
