ECO magazine rewarded Hydromea for their successful LUMA modem by awarding them a spot in the “Innovation” category. Click here for a short summary and the full issue featuring Hydromea is available by clicking on the magazine cover below.
From 1 to 3 October 2019 the Underwater Intervention Drone Technology Demonstration took place in Tau near Stavanger, Norway. Many of the technologies demonstrated at this event showed a new way in subsea technology where compact and affordable systems open new opportunities. A growing battalion of small, compact systems is marching in on the subsea world, in some ways making…
A Lausanne-based start-up has secured private investor funding to boost the development of their products, including a high-tech submarine drone that will reduce fatalities in dangerous underwater operations. EPFL spin-off Hydromea, which specialises in portable and autonomous robotics and wireless communication underwater, has raised undisclosed amount in convertible loans as part of a CHF1.4 million seed round. Founded in 2014,…
AGEFI, the leading business publication of Western Switzerland featured Hydromea in their 16 October 2019 print issue as well as one their web site (french).
The newest issue of the always excellent UT3 Magazine focuses on subsea communication and features the LUMA optical nodes on pages 53 through 55.
Many subsea construction operations require real time data access to enable informed decision to be made during the installation phase. The reliability of data communications with monitoring systems is critical to this type of operation. Ashtead Technology successfully integrated Hydromea’s LUMA optical nodes with its AMS+ (autonomous monitoring system) and DMS (deflection monitoring system), which are systems regularly used to…
Germany’s oceanographic research institutes successfully used Hydromea’s LUMA 250LP wireless nodes in depths down to over 4000m. The scientists of the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI)/Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology (MPI) on board the research vessel Sonne were examining the possible environmental impact of deep sea mining of polymetallic nodules in the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCZ) in the Eastern…
Hydromea’s LUMA, a wireless high-speed underwater communication system, was successfully deployed by a leading subsea operator, during a subsea manifold installation project in the North Sea in November 2018. LUMA was integrated with Ashtead Technology’s AMS+ (Autonomous Monitoring System) to deliver fast and reliable remote communication of heading, pitch, roll and other essential data in real time via a work…
