The Seabed's Nervous System
A vertically integrated platform turning subsea data into contracted annual revenue per asset
LAYER 1:
SENSING & REFERENCE NODES
Long-life sensing nodes capture asset and environmental data, store data locally, and transmits wirelessly
LAYER 2:
COMMUNICATION & NAVIGATION
Move information to surface and correct position underwater enabling persistent integrity monitoring and surveillance
LAYER 3:
SUBSEA INTELLIGENCE-AS-A-SERVICE
Service platform converts data into contracted annual revenue
One Recurring Need Across Subsea
Infrastructure
Across subsea markets, operators need reliable condition data without repeated vessel campaigns.

Persistent monitoring of critical infrastructure
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
SubtitlePersistent 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
