MODFOX M4
– Wireless Subsea Control
Autonomous.
Umbilical-Free.
In response to increasing industry demand and the push for next-generation subsea solutions, MODFOX M4 introduces a revolutionary wireless, self-sustained subsea control system powered by battery technology.
By integrating wireless communication and subsea battery technology with the MODFOX M3 platform, MODFOX M4 eliminates the need for hardwired umbilicals or ROV tethering.
Advanced Subsea Operations Without Cables
Utilizing a combination of acoustic and optical infrastructure, the fully autonomous system enhances safety, reduces operational risk, and significantly lowers time and cost for intervention and well access operations.
