One Recurring Need Across Subsea
Infrastructure
Across subsea markets, operators need reliable condition data without repeated vessel campaigns.
HOME
Persistent Intelligence for Subsea Infrastructure
Ocean Information Services develops technology that makes critical subsea infrastructure continuously observable. The Lattice platform combines long life sensing, patented magnetic communications and edge intelligence to provide actionable information between offshore inspection campaigns.
Building the infrastructure for autonomous subsea operations.
The Challenge
Offshore assets operate in some of the world's most demanding environments. Inspection remains periodic, expensive and vessel intensive, leaving operators with limited visibility between campaigns. Decisions are often based on models rather than measured asset behaviour.
The OIS Approach
OIS transforms periodic inspection into persistent intelligence. Installed Lattice devices continuously measure asset and environmental conditions, process information at the edge and transfer only decision relevant information. The result is earlier detection of change, better inspection planning and lower dependence on routine offshore campaigns.
One Platform. Three Markets.
The same Lattice platform supports three complementary markets:
1
Offshore Energy
Integrity monitoring for offshore wind, oil and gas and floating infrastructure.
2
Environmental Monitoring
Long duration environmental intelligence for offshore and coastal assets.
3
Defence & Security
Persistent monitoring of subsea cables, interconnectors, ports and strategic infrastructure.
Technology
Technology
Lattice is an integrated subsea platform rather than a collection of sensors.
Long Life Sensing
Installed devices continuously measure structural, environmental and operational behaviour over extended deployment periods.
Magnetic Communications
Patented low frequency magnetic communications enable wireless information transfer where conventional radio cannot operate and complement acoustic communications where appropriate.
Edge Intelligence
Sensor data is processed locally so only decision relevant information is transmitted, reducing power consumption and extending deployment life.
Autonomous Integration
The platform integrates with ROVs, AUVs, USVs and customer information systems, enabling increasingly autonomous inspection workflows.
Together these capabilities create the foundation for condition based maintenance and increasingly autonomous subsea operations.
Products
Lattice MARS
Persistent asset integrity and flow assurance.
Lattice EMS
Environmental intelligence for water quality, biodiversity and regulatory reporting.
Lattice Neptune
Persistent subsea monitoring supporting repeatable AUV inspection and critical infrastructure monitoring.
MARKETS
Markets
Offshore Energy
Operators need continuous understanding of asset condition without repeated vessel mobilisation. Lattice supports fatigue monitoring, corrosion, cable integrity, flow assurance, pipeline walking, structural response and condition based maintenance across offshore wind, floating wind, FPSOs, pipelines, risers and subsea production systems.
Environmental Monitoring
Lattice EMS enables persistent environmental intelligence around offshore and coastal infrastructure. It supports water quality, biodiversity, habitat monitoring and environmental reporting, providing continuous evidence where periodic surveys have traditionally been used. This capability creates opportunities across offshore energy, marine restoration, coastal infrastructure and data centre cooling.
Defence & Security
Submarine cables, interconnectors, ports and offshore energy assets are becoming increasingly strategic. Lattice Neptune enables repeatable monitoring, AUV supported inspection and persistent awareness of critical subsea infrastructure. The same platform can support infrastructure resilience today and dual use security applications where appropriate.
Industry Collaboration
Industry Collaboration
OIS develops and deploys technology in collaboration with leading offshore operators, engineering organisations and technology partners.
Customer funded deployments and Joint Industry Programmes provide a structured pathway from concept validation to commercial deployment.
COMPANY
Ocean Information Services develops technologies that help operators understand what is happening below the surface between inspection campaigns. Working with offshore operators, engineering partners and research organisations, OIS is building a scalable platform for offshore asset integrity, environmental intelligence and critical infrastructure monitoring.
From Periodic Inspection to Continuous Intelligence
Persistent sensing and wireless water to air data transfer reduce inspection cost, risk and emissions
LEGACY MODEL
- Decisions based on risk assumptions
- Periodic campaigns with highly carbon intensive crewed vessels
- No asset visibility (blind spots) between inspections
- Personnel repeatedly exposed to offshore hazards
- High-cost routine mobilization
- No persistent security visibility
OIS MODEL
- Decisions based on live asset data
- Crews mobilised only when needed
- Continuous data feeds digital twins
- Sensors operate in hazardous zones
- OPEX reduction: 60–80%
- Low cost, persistent integrity monitoring across critical assets
Reduced Risk
Early detection of failure signals
Lower OPEX
Fewer vessel campaigns
Critical Infrastructure Security
Persistent monitoring of strategic seabed corridors
Lower Carbon
Fewer vessel campaigns enabled by wireless water-air data transfer

Solving the Communication and Navigation Gap
Seawater breaks conventional connectivity and makes repeatable autonomous inspection difficult.
THE COMMUNICATION & NAVIGATION PROBLEM
Acoustics do not cross the water-air boundary effectively.
Conventional radio is rapidly attenuated underwater.
For navigation, acoustic beacons are power hungry and detectable.
THE OIS PATENTED MAGNETIC UPLINK
Low frequency magnetic signalling enables wireless water to air backhaul and short range subsea communication enabling 2 operating modes:
1. VERTICAL MODE
Sea-to-surface wireless data transmission: overcoming the air-water barrier
2. HORIZONTAL MODE
Magnetic reference nodes for AUV INS correction and repeat patrol
The foundation for Autonomous Subsea Operations at global scale
Solving the Battery and Data Economics Gap
Persistent subsea monitoring only works if the system can process data locally and transmit selectively.
THE BATTERY ECONOMY PROBLEM
Subsea sensors generate large volumes of data.
Transmitting it all drains battery life and breaks the economics.
THE OIS EDGE INTELLIGENCE
Raw data is processed on-device, so only decisión–relevant information is transmitted with up to 30 years of autonomy achieved
