Maritime Communications and Sensing

Where wireless can't reach.

Saltenna's Plasmonic technology extends underwater, on the surface, and along the seabed — connecting divers, uncrewed vehicles, and vessels without needing line of sight.

The ocean is a wireless dead zone.

Wireless systems that thrive on land stop at the waterline. Saltenna's Plasmonic surface waves are being developed to work where the maritime domain defeats them.

Seawater Stops RF

Conventional radio is absorbed just below the surface, cutting off divers, vehicles, and sensors from the assets above them.

No Line of Sight

Hulls, seawalls, islands, and the air-water boundary itself break the direct paths that optical and acoustic links depend on.

Contested Spectrum

Above the surface, jamming and interference can deny conventional RF exactly when the link matters most.

Communications across the maritime domain.

UUV Communications and Swarming

Saltenna is developing communications between uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs) at range, enabling swarming behavior underwater. This extends to communications between UUVs and UAVs, bridging the air-water barrier.

Oil & Gas Communications

Saltenna is working on wireless communications along and through subsea energy infrastructure — risers, pipelines, and platforms, including those filled with hazardous liquids — supporting offshore inspection and monitoring.

Diver-to-Diver Communications

Saltenna is developing underwater communications between dive teams at significant range, including through solid obstacles such as seawalls or the hull of a passing vessel.

USV / Surface Vessel Communications

Saltenna is developing communications between uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) at range, engineered to withstand jamming.

Seabed Communications

Saltenna is developing communications along the seabed between UUVs, including through obstacles such as vertical pipes near the seabed — supporting infrastructure inspection and monitoring applications.
