Hydromea LumaModel 500ER -Programmable Through-Water Wireless Optical Nodes

SHARE

LUMA 500ER long-range optical communication node is perfect for underwater infrastructure, AUV data harvesting, subsea networks and bottom to surface data upload. LUMA – the most compact, power efficient and infinitely programmable through-water wireless optical nodes for data transfer anywhere from the splash zones down to 6’000m depth.

LUMA is designed with flexibility in mind. In its base configuration it is a transparent link between your legacy systems, making it very easy to integrate. Plug&Play is not just marketing language when it comes to LUMA.
We call our LUMAs wireless communication nodes because they can be programmed to be used in a mesh network or even serve as access points for high-speed wifi coverage over a subsea field. AUVs, ROVs and infrastructure can then be wirelessly connected. This suddenly opens up affordable high-bandwidth subsea connectivity which was previously not possible.

LUMA will wirelessly transfer high volume of data in a variety of subsea applications during construction, inspection, monitoring and repairs in the offshore energy sector. In the science & research sector it will serve as a regular environmental data uplink from an ADCP, a camera or other sensors on the sea floor. We see other opportunties in the aquaculture and defense space.
With LUMA you can now design connectivity solutions all the way from the ocean floor at 6’000m to a satellite in the space. Splash zone communication is something that LUMA can deal with really well. In this way LUMA offers unparalleled connectivity and can be a vital agent for real-time monitoring of structures in digital twin systems.
