LUMA: Underwater wireless optical modems
Send data wirelessly underwater at the speed of light
Page last modified
April 11 2024
LUMA™ is a line of optical modems that are compact, power efficient, and operate from the splash zones down to 6’000 meter depth with a communication speed of up to 10 Mbit/s and the range of up to 50 meters. 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.
LUMA modems are lightning fast. They can send data at up to 10 Mbit/s bandwidth enabling truly HD-quality video transfer wirelessly through water in real time. LUMA penetrates air to water barrier with no effort, making it a great alternative to cables in extremely unforgiving splash zone conditions. Our most advanced LUMA modem will consume 1500 times less energy than a fastest acoustic modem on the market per bit of data.
