Modfox M4 – wireless
The combination of an increasing demand and an endless ambition to change subsea-future and how industry perform Well Access, we are hereby presenting a revolutionary wireless and self-sustained power supply with use of batteries.
OPERATIONS
Wireless Communications and subsea batteries in combination with a MODFOX M3 introducing a game-changer within how the industry perform Intervention and Well Access operations carried out from drilling rigs and subsea construction vessels. MODFOX M4 removes all conventional need of hardwired open-water umbilical or ROV interfacing. The fully self-sustained battery system communicates wireless from both ROV and subsea vessel to seabed control system using a proven combination of acoustic and optical infrastructure. Reducing HSE risk, time and operational cost to a whole new level.
