Solutions-led water monitoring specialists

The first and only platform to carry data with low frequency electromagnetic fields, nature’s perfect through-the-surface communications method for wireless data transport between more devices in more places than ever before.

EM-2: Wireless Through Water, Ice & Ground

BENEFITS

  • Performance unaffected by biofouling, turbidity or environmental noise in the water column
  • Easily installed and integrated with various sensor packs, such as multiparameter sonde and ADCP
  • No adverse effects on aquatic life
  • Bidirectional point-to-point communication available today; multi-point connectivity and relay capability coming soon

EM-2S: Wireless Ship Hull Monitoring

BENEFITS

  • Reliable data transmission from the hull-mounted sensors to a topside unit, eliminating the need for cabling
  • Can be integrated with a variety of sensors to provide a holistic view of the ship’s hull
  • Continuous monitoring and real-time data transmission enables proactive maintenance
  • The non-intrusive design ensures minimal disruption to marine life and ecosystems
  • Offers convenient wireless retrofitting of sensors and controls, and it can be welded by commercial divers

EM-2Q: Wireless Water Quality Monitoring

BENEFITS

  • Reduced environment impact
  • Seamless integration with industry leading sondes
  • Reliable, real-time data
  • Reduced risk of vandalism and theft
  • Consistent cost per site

Water Quality Monitoring Overview

Technology Overiew

CSignum’s EM-2 solution uses patented electromagnetic field signalling (EMFS) for wireless communication, uniquely capable of transmitting data from the seabed to the shore, from a ship’s hull and propulsion systems to the deck, and from riverbed to riverbank. This technology can transfer data without reflection at the water-to-air interface, a common issue with acoustic systems. 

CSignum’s EM-2 supports bidirectional sensor data transfers at distances up to 200m enabling the successful deployment and operation of Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) monitoring devices. The CSignum electromagnetic field-based communications method can also be used to communicate underground and pass data through rock, concrete and soil.

Why consider a
Wireless River Water Quality Monitoring
System

  • Real-Time, Reliable Data Capture
    Integrated multiparameter sondes continuously monitor the @Sec 82 parameters – pH, temperature, turbidity, ammonia, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity – from beneath the water surface. Delivering reliable, uninterrupted data to meet regulatory compliance
  • Lower Risk of Vandalism or Flood Damage
    Topside wireless gateways are safely mounted to trees, poles, or existing infrastructure – well away from flood risk and vandalism. No buried pipes that could be susceptible to freezing
  • Low Environmental and Visual Impact
    Our systems stay out of sight and out of the way. Riverbed sondes are deployed below the surface, with minimal bankside construction. Gateways blend into surroundings, removing friction with stakeholders and the public
  • Rapid Deployment, Simplified Landowner Permissions
    Thanks to flexible wireless architecture, the topside unit can be placed up to 100m from the river. This reduces the need for intrusive access and accelerates landowner consent
  • Flexible Location to Deploy in Mixing Point
    The monitoring system can be placed anywhere across the full width of the river, allowing for optimal placement in mixing zones to deliver representative data
  • Predictable Deployment Costs
    No civil engineering unknowns, consistent, simplified installation process

News Releases

CSignum is revolutionising the way critical wireless data is transmitted, breaking through the barriers between air and water in both fresh and salt-water environments.

This innovation is pivotal for assisting in the effective monitoring of pollution and environmental conditions in the world’s oceans, lakes, and rivers, while also facilitating data communication in areas that were previously impossible to reach, such as underground or beneath the hull of marine vessels.

CSignum brings the connectivity required for networking the Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT).
