Strontium Dawg Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I wouldn't worry too much, I can't see this happening. The costs to install and maintain would be astronomical, and the applications would be so limited as to be useless. Another red herring.

These technologies are already being marketed commercially and installed in the world’s oceans today. At the 2022 Oceanology International conference, which will be held in London from March 15 to 17, dozens of these companies will be exhibiting their products. WaterLinked sells underwater sensor technology through distributors around the world for use in aquaculture, and in underwater navigation. “Our Wireless Sense™ technology enables reliable wireless communication and innovative subsea sensor solutions,” says their website. EvoLogics sells underwater acoustic modems, both mid-range and long-range, that “provide full-duplex digital communication.” SonarDyne International sells underwater acoustic modems to the oil and gas industry and to governments and navies. Voyis sells short- and long-range underwater laser scanners. GeoSpectrum sells “integrated, end-to-end acoustic systems” for oil and gas exploration and for military purposes. Dynautics sells autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Seaber sells “off-the-shelf micro-AUVs.” Hydromea markets “the first ever tether-less underwater drone.” Mediterraneo Señales Maritimas sells “data buoys that integrate sensors through our datalogger so the data can be transmitted to a remote station and displayed on our software.” 3D at Depth, Inc. “provides advanced subsea LIDAR laser systems.” Teledyne Marine sells Autonomous Underwater Gliders, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (“unmanned robot submarines”) and “laser systems for both shallow and deep-sea submerged diving.” https://www.oceanologyinternational.com/london/en-gb.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strontium Dawg Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Just because they're being marketed doesn't mean they are commercially viable or attractive. That distinction should be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
