Where to Find Low-Cost Underwater Acoustic Communication Solutions?

To address the challenge of long-distance underwater communication, our company has been actively developing and applying underwater communication modules and sensors in recent years, and has partnered with Xiamen University to accelerate product development. We have now completed the validation of a low-power, long-range, compact, and low-cost underwater acoustic communication solution.

Application Areas:

Subsea pipeline monitoring networks

Marine environmental monitoring networks

Oceanographic research sensor networks

Underwater real-time positioning systems

Short-command communication systems

Underwater unmanned vehicle communication and control

Ultrasonic underwater depth measurement / Obstacle avoidance sensors

Key Parameters:

Acoustic data rate: 300bps

Frequency: 35 - 46kHz

Communication range: 0-1km at low power.

Power consumption: Receive 0.85W / Transmit 1.56W

Data interface: USB/RS485

Voltage: 12-24VDC Transducer: Omnidirectional (180° beam)

Core board dimensions: 65mm*65mm

On January 7, 2020, engineers from our company's technical department, together with members of the UAC team from Xiamen University, went to Shanzi Reservoir in Lianjiang County to conduct further underwater acoustic communication experiments, validating over a year of development on underwater acoustic communication equipment and achieving encouraging progress. Under unobstructed conditions, a strong signal was obtained at a distance of 500m, with a bit error rate lower than 0.3%.
