Wireless underwater communication and navigation — reliable solutions built for professionals
Over 10 years of building proven solutions for divers, ROVs, AUVs and other underwater platforms.
Our solutions provide precise navigation, stable communication, data transmission and control — with no cables, in the most demanding conditions
For contractors of underwater engineering works

Underwater, the tasks are the same as on land, but the conditions are far more difficult
You need to know exactly where the divers and equipment are, keep the work site under control and maintain uninterrupted communication. Our systems were developed together with underwater work professionals, so that work at depth is faster, safer and more reliable.
Fast communication and precise coordination
Diving surveys, installation works, laying and repair of utilities, lifting and rescue operations, reinforcement and protection of structures
Precise positioning of the vehicle anywhere in the water area
Search and survey of objects using ROVs, including sonar imaging

Your equipment can do more when there is navigation and communication underwater
Building a reliable vehicle is not enough to work underwater. First and foremost, an underwater system has to solve the user's tasks, and this very often requires precise positioning and confident operation in poor visibility, and knowing where the vehicle is in real time. There is also a separate class of tasks that require reliable wireless data transmission underwater.
Solutions from the Underwater Communication and Navigation Laboratory help integrators extend the capabilities of ROVs, AUVs and other underwater systems, and solve the widest range of tasks that are routine on land but severely limit our capabilities underwater: determining the position of various objects and systems underwater, or transmitting data from depth to the surface or between parts of your underwater systems, is now almost as simple as it is on the surface
Navigation and positioning for robots and underwater systems
Real-time coordinates both underwater and at the surface control console. Precise positioning of the vehicle and underwater objects. Stable positioning in shallow water, in difficult water areas and at great depths. More accuracy in surveys, search, inspection and mission execution
Hydroacoustic communication for underwater equipment
Transmission of commands, telemetry and arbitrary data between underwater vehicles, the operator and infrastructure. Support for AUV swarm interaction. Data collection from underwater sensors and networks with no need for a cable connection or bringing them to the surface

Hydroacoustics for education, research and development
Underwater communication and navigation are an important part of modern marine robotics, instrument engineering and applied science. In practice, however, such solutions often turn out to be quite expensive for education, difficult to implement, or closed to in-depth engineering and research work.
Solutions from the Underwater Communication and Navigation Laboratory help schools, universities, laboratories and research institutes work with hydroacoustics without barriers. Affordable prices, detailed documentation, open-source software and easy integration make it possible to use our systems both in teaching and in real scientific, engineering and R&D projects.
Solutions for young engineers and competitive hydroacoustics
Detailed teaching materials with assignments that help students master not only the basics of hydroacoustics but also related mechanical, electrical and software tasks. The high point is the ability to take on additional tasks at marine and underwater robotics competitions, which increasingly appear in competition rules. Technical simplicity, clear interfaces, ready-made examples and open solutions make it possible to move from theory to practice faster — without excessive complexity or cost
